(ARTHUR  WEEGEE FELLIG)
(1899 - 1968) Photographer and photojournalist, known for his stark black and white street photography. Weegee worked in the Lower East Side of New York City as a press photographer during the 1930s and '40s, and he developed his signature style by following the city's emergency services and documenting their activity. Much of his work depicted unflinchingly realistic scenes of urban life, crime, injury and death. Untitled, unpublished silver gellatin photograph, 7¾ x 10 in., a New York City accident or crime scene with a man crumpled upon the pavement, suffering from what appears to be a fatal head injury. Inkstamp on verso: "Please Credit Weegee From Photo-Representatives." Fine condition.

Estimate: $500 - 700.
