Noted photographer and local resident William Gedney took this photo some time between 1954 and 1959, according to the record in the Duke University Libraries, which houses a number of his works.

The candid scene of two men taking a break to chat while shoveling snow is set at the corner of Myrtle and Washington Avenues.

Thanks also to Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership for first highlighting this image earlier this week!
