Transvestites, Opening of Cleopatra at Palace Theater, New York
1963

A black and white photograph capturing a lively street scene at night with a group of young people in the foreground. The central figure is looking directly at the camera with a neutral expression, surrounded by others who appear to be in motion, some with blurred faces suggesting movement. In the background, city lights and signage, including the word "RESTAURANT," are visible, contributing to the urban atmosphere of the image.
