The Crowd 1936

"The Crowd" is a black and white photograph taken by Nathan Lerner in 1936. The photo depicts a group of people, many of whom are wearing hats, standing in a street, likely in a city, waiting for something or looking at something out of frame. The image uses a high angle perspective, creating a sense of intimacy and realism. Lerner was a prominent documentary photographer who focused on capturing the lives of everyday people in urban environments. This photo is a prime example of his style and his interest in social commentary.
