This is a black and white photograph of an open-air flea market. The composition shows a young woman standing in the middle of a large cardboard box labeled "Dressing Room." A child is standing on the back bumper of a truck at right, and a woman in headscarf appears at left. A large van with a crossed out advertisement on the side fills the majority of the background, and a row of folded clothing appears along the bottom of the image in the foreground.

Levinson from 1975 - 1986 and sold only in the 11 x 14 and 16 x 20 sizes. Not a single balck and white print was made or printed after 1986.
