## Caption

"Another of my favorite photographers – ‘Weegee (The Famous)’ as he used to stamp his prints. This is just one of those images that works and you can’t really explain why. You don’t really have any idea as to what is happening in the image and the composition is all wrong in many ways with everyone in the shot seemingly looking in a different direction. It is so classically #Weegee – harsh lighting, there before the police turn up (a dead body lies on the pavement), and capturing the darker side of life in New York." - Matthew Butson | 📷: WeeGeeInternationalCenterofPhotography | September 10, 1941 | #GettyImagesArchive #TBT
