Fiddlers in the park 1948
Photograph
Simmons negative number 230
Night scene. Children gather around fiddlers, hammered dulcimer player, a piano that may be using the back of a truck as a stage. An cord from a string of bare light bulbs powers a PA system. A man in the background is wearing a funny-nose-and-glasses and an alpine or Peter Pan hat.
