Arthur Leipzig

Block Party, Brooklyn, NY
1945

Black and white photograph capturing a bustling street festival at night. The scene is illuminated by strings of lights that create a festive atmosphere. A dense crowd of people, many dressed in light-colored clothing, fills the street, mingling, walking, and some carrying balloons. The architecture suggests an urban environment, and a sign that reads "Station" is visible in the lower right corner, indicating the proximity to a transportation hub or a themed area. The photo conveys a sense of community and celebration.
