| Abstract: | Black and white photo of three DSC workers in white wing uniforms
shoveling sand from a sand box on a curb on 5th Avenue. Two stand on
the sidewalk and shovel sand from a box labeled "Department of
Street Cleaning/SAND BOX." These two men's hats, from left to
right, are labeled "1514" and "1100." The other
worker, standing on the street, holds a wheeled carry can filled with
sand. His hat has no number. Three boys are visible behind them. At
the corner behind them, more DSC workers, a carry can, a full garbage
can and a woman with a feathered hat are visible. In the upper left
corner, a business sign is barely visible which reads: "527 5.
AVE" and "TEL BRYANT 6990." The marquee on the next
building to the right reads "JOHN N. GOLDING." |
