Black and white 1920s photo of a broad-shouldered man with a widow's peak in a pinstripe suit, reading a ledger on a city street.

A gelatin silver print captures a labor organizer studying a ledger on a gritty 1920s street corner. Shot with a Leica II on early 35mm film, the image features the naturalistic, overcast lighting and authentic grain typical of the era's documentary photography.
