Francis Luis Mora, Subway riders, New York City, 1914 Print, 12½” x 9¼” 1914, New York Public Library
The reason their mouths are painted closed is because they don’t have any teeth.
No, no, they had teeth; they were just made of cashmere.
These exchanges are becoming impenetrable (not that there’s anything wrong with that).
I wonder if this was one of the many prints that NYPL sold to private collectors.
