Caption

Bernardine Alley at night; photograph, ca. 1914, Jan Bulhak 1876–1950; Vilnius, Bernardine Alley; photographic print: 16.2 × 11.6 cm, album page: 31.0 × 23.5 cm., A dim archway frames a narrow cobblestone alley leading to the facade of an older building; a person stands beneath the arch near the right wall wearing a long dark coat and hat, partially in shadow. The scene shows strong contrasts of light and dark with deep black shadows under the arch and along the foreground, lighter cream and beige tones on the building walls, and muted gray and brown textures on the cobblestones and plaster. The arch casts a curved shadow across the ground and the right wall, and windows and architectural details are visible on the distant building.
