Chinatown, New York
1940

A black and white photograph capturing a street scene with two men. On the left, a man is seen from behind, wearing a suit and looking towards a storefront with Chinese characters on the window. On the right, another man sits on a wooden stool by a small table with newspapers, wearing a flat cap and a suit, with a contemplative expression on his face. The setting suggests an urban environment, possibly in a Chinatown district.
