In 1938 Rosenblum led a group project on Pitt Street, a stretch of blocks on Manhattan’s Lower East Side close to where he had grown up. For six months he and fellow League members documented the daily lives of Pitt Street’s inhabitants, including this young girl playing in a park at the foot of the Williamsburg Bridge.
