Print, Photographic

One photographic print of a monk who is dressed in a tunic, scapular, cowl, and hood and is shoveling snow on a sidewalk. A metal fence is visible in the background and one of the walls of St. Bonaventure Monastery is visible in the far background. The photo is mounted on a cardboard backing.

A card taped to the verso reads: Brother Rubin, a monk in the Capuchin monastery in Detroit, shoveling snow from its sidewalk to make it easier for the poor to stand in line for the daily meals served there. Detroit Times Photo.
