- Description
- While a woman in coat and white scarf heads across the photographer’s field of view in the foreground, a man who appears to be an amputee heads away from the photographer on his crutches toward a crowd of people in the street in the distance. The location appears to be near a marketplace. The photographer, who frequently wrote of the overcrowded Soviet trams and resulting accidents, states that the man sustained his injury when a tram ran over his feet.
