This is a black and white photograph depicting a nighttime street scene, likely from the late 19th or early 20th century, captured by Alfred Stieglitz, as indicated by the copyright date of 1897. The image shows a wet street reflecting the lights from street lamps and illuminated windows. There's a row of buildings on the left, and a line of spherical street lamps leads into the distance along a sidewalk. Horse-drawn carriages with passengers are visible in the middle of the street. To the right, there appears to be a park or tree-lined area, with the silhouette of a large tree in the foreground, its branches reaching into the darker, misty upper right corner of the image. The scene evokes a quiet, somewhat moody atmosphere, indicative of the late hours in an urban environment. The light sources create a glowing halo effect due to the nighttime moisture in the air.
