Dead End II
1936

A black and white photograph depicting three individuals on a wooden dock. On the left, a person lies face down on the dock, resting their head on their folded arms. In the center, another individual sits on the ground, leaning against a large mooring bollard, wearing a turban and looking down. On the right, a man in a suit sits on the edge of the dock, his back against a wooden piling, gazing off into the distance. In the background, a bridge and industrial buildings are visible across the water.
