Untitled (Italians playing cards, Village, NY)

1936

A black and white photograph from the 1930s showing a group of men in suits and hats engaged in a game of cards on a city sidewalk. The men are focused on the game, with one of them holding a hand of cards, while others look on. The setting suggests an informal, outdoor gathering, possibly during a break from work, as indicated by their attire.
