Curb cuts (2)
Date: c. 1970s
Image Description: A black-and-white side-profile photograph illustrating the physical barrier posed by uncurbed city sidewalks in the 1970s. A man wearing glasses and a dark overcoat sits in an Everest & Jennings manual wheelchair as another person in a suit stands behind him on the street, tilting the wheelchair sharply backward by its push handles so the front casters clear the high concrete curb. Pedestrians in coats and parked cars are visible across the street in front of a stone commercial building.
