A severely damaged 1920s touring car with a canvas soft top sits on a wet slushy residential street, its front end crumpled back to expose the engine block and shattered round headlights. Scrap metal and broken mechanical parts lie scattered across the slush in the foreground. A large bare leafless tree stands beside the wreck, and directly behind it a brick row house with a white arched doorway bearing the number 2603, more brick townhouses receding down the block. Flat overcast daylight, wet pavement catching a dull sheen, deep blacks in the shadows and clean highlights in the snow. Black and white historical documentary photograph, rich contrast, sharp focus, fine film grain.
