Bronx, NY
c. 1940, later print

A black and white photograph depicting a young girl in a patterned dress and hat, skipping rope on a sidewalk in front of a wrought iron fence and a set of stairs leading to a building entrance. The setting appears to be an urban environment, possibly from an earlier time period given the style of clothing and architecture.
