Night scenes

A couple more night scenes from the research I did for The Mobster’s Lament. Quotes are from ‘The Birth of Bebop’ and from the New York District Attorney’s Report for 1946 – 1948, which was a goldmine of information that I stumbled across during my research. ⠀
The photos are both Feiningers, though the second one isn’t from the correct period, unfortunately, but from the mid-50s, but I loved it so much, I stuck it in. Meh. ⠀
