Object Details
- Description
- This gelatin silver print depicts a closely-framed portrait of a couple sitting on a bench on the boardwalk overlooking Coney Island Beach. The man wears a dark overcoat and reaches his arm around the shoulders of the woman next to him who wears a white coat. They are both turned slightly towards each other, facing one another. The bottom quarter of the image reveals the planks of the pier and the feet of the seated couple; the horizon line of the photograph falls at approximately shoulder height of the couple but is mostly obscured by the couple themselves.
