The second is an inscription from a press photograph taken by Arthur Fellig, pseudonym Weegee, who worked in the Lower East Side of New York City during the 1930s and '40s. He took stark pictures of urban life, crime, injury and death.
The inscription here is from a photo of a dead man lying on the street, eyes open, and simply states "Shot & killed on east side street". It appears in the upper left corner of the main menu and is the identical hand-written inscription that appears on the original Weegee photo.
