Penn Station, 1958 circa
c. 1958

Black and white photograph capturing a candid moment inside a vehicle, possibly a bus or train, with several men wearing hats typical of mid-20th century fashion. The focus is on a man in the foreground reading a newspaper, with other passengers blurred in the background. The lighting is high-contrast, emphasizing the silhouettes and the interior atmosphere.
