| Abstract: | Several civilians lined up on boardwalk and across beach at Coney
Island; Brooklyn skyline and pier visible in back. Beach is covered in
litter and partially-filled garbage cans. |
| Description: | Black and white photo (sepia toned), glossy, 8" x 10", white
borders. Verso: black ink handwriting, top left corner: "Coney
Island Before Cleaning Beach." Black ink traces (likely
fingerprints). Provenance: Removed from site by Robin Nagle, 9/07.
One of four photos found in kraft envelope, apparently a series of
photos showing the before, during and after of cleaning Coney Island
beach. Fourth photo is a duplicate of this one (not scanned at this
time - 10/11/07). Pencil handwriting on kraft envelope reads
"Cleaning Beach at Coney Island;" "NO NEGS" noted in
top left corner. |
