Man with Long Shadow, Delancey Street
c. 1955, printed 1960s

A black and white photograph capturing the back view of an elderly man wearing a hat and overcoat, standing on a sidewalk and casting a sharp shadow on a textured wall. To his left, another person is partially visible, leaning against the wall with only their plaid-clothed arm and a portion of their face showing. The wall features some faint graffiti.
