- Description
- A black-and-white film still of Louis Armstrong on the set of "Going Places." The silver gelatin print depicts Louis Armstrong playing the trumpet while sitting on a Salsbury Motor Glide scooter. Armstrong is wearing a plaid newsboy cap, a corduroy collared shirt, corduroy vest, leather shoes, and jeans tucked into leather half-chaps. Armstrong's cheeks are puffed as he blows into his trumpet. The scooter is white with a small front wheel, a headlight, and four thick stripes running across the front of the body and down the sides. His scooter is parked on a wide dirt pathway strewn with leaves. In the background is a line of tree. A notation is printed in the negative in the bottom right corner, [GP 83]. There are no inscriptions on the front or back of the photograph.
