One wonders if the comfortable sun lounger on a New York rooftop has been put there just so that a moment's reading can be snatched in the midst of domestic chores such as hanging out the washing. This is Chimneys (1944) by the influential Hungarian photographer André Kertész (1894-1985) who emigrated to New York in 1936. It is a part of his lifelong preoccupation with readers and reading; he created a large collection of images of readers on NYC rooftops, tiny balconies, and fire escapes.
