Beggar's dog - Hoboken (LOC)

    Can't tell if the dog is sitting in the remnants of some old rolltop desk by the name of "PHENIX"
  • The Library of Congress said:
    You can have a closer look if you go to a higher resolution version that is available at the persistent URL listed in the description. Click on the thumbnail photo and then open the TIFF file.
  • porkfork6 said:
    That made a difference. In the TIFF the dog looks like he is missing an eye, the upright pencils on the front of the desk, and that there is a wooden-handled umbrella leaning on the fence behind them. It may also be shoelaces hanging in front of the dog.

    i wish the entire LOC liberary was designed in web 2.0, like getty images or flickr. but altogether - thanks very much for your donations and sharing.
  • quizzical swim said:
    I don't believe the dog is missing an eye, at least I don't see evidence of that.

Beggar - Peddler on Broadway (LOC)

  • David Zarza said:
    Amazing picture.

    Unlike the woman on the right (and the men, for that matter), this beggar woman isn't wearing a hat. She was probably an immigrant and immigrant women covered their heads with shawls. This woman's shawl has fallen down over her shoulders from the weight of the baby. As the grim looks on the pedestrians faces show, she was a disruptive presence on the street.
