Description

Subject Matter:

Typical of Walker Evans's New York photographs of the period, this photograph shows a sidewalk devoid of people. Pockets of light dapple the cobblestone street, while brilliant sun washes over the facade of the buildings and storefronts, generating a drama of illumination.

Physical Description:

View of an empty street in front of a men's clothing store.
