Sidewalk

Black-and-white photo of two young people kneeling on a city sidewalk to measure a large pothole in front of a man seated in a wheelchair.

Date: c. 1990s

Image Description: A black-and-white photograph of three individuals inspecting a large, hazardous hole in a cracked concrete sidewalk on a busy city street. A man wearing a three-piece suit and tie sits in a manual wheelchair in the center, looking down as a young man on the left—holding a clipboard and positioning a long metal level—and a young woman on the right crouch beside the deep depression to measure and point out the broken pavement. Several pedestrians walk along the sidewalk in the background.
