A black and white photograph of an unidentified man and woman by Arthur Leipzig. They are sitting next to each other with the man on the left in front of the camera.

The woman’s hair is in a rolled updo. The man and woman are not looking at the camera. They have their hands raised in front of their chests with open mouths as though they are singing and clapping along.
