(title to come)
1940

A black and white photograph capturing a sunny day on a street lined with uniform row houses featuring stoops with iron railings. A vintage car is parked on the side of the street, and a few pedestrians are visible walking on the sidewalk. The perspective is from an elevated vantage point, possibly a nearby staircase, with ornate balusters partially framing the bottom right of the image. Shadows cast by the street lamps and buildings create a contrast of light and dark across the scene.
