Description
Color slide of two actors from the motion picture "On the Waterfront" standing on dock, Hoboken, no date, ca. late 1953-early 1954. 35mm transparency, vertical image. Photographer and other provenance unknown. Mount has holographic ink number "(1)."
The actors are not identified. A partial double exposure shows a sideways image of another man at the bottom. In the background is a policeman or an actor costumed as a policeman. The view is looking north-northwest near the Fifth Street pier with Stevens Institute of Technology in the background.
One of a group of 14 slides, 2001.098.0001 to 2001.098.0014, numbered on the slides 1 to 19 with numbers 7 to 10 and 16 missing. Whether this image is a candid or a posed 'still' is unknown. The image is in poor condition with severe fading and scratches. Image is available here as a black-and-white enhanced image and in its original condition. Appears to be in original cardboard mount which is imaged both sides for recording holographic notations and potential provenance determination.
