        "description": "The pleasures and agonies of teenage romance are captured in Bruce Davidson\u2019s photographs of the gang\u2019s dance parties, which were held variously in Brooklyn\u2019s Prospect Park, at a neighborhood school, and in members\u2019 homes. The basement wallpaper seen here\u2014with its fairy-tale figures including horses, queens, knights, marionettes, and jokers\u2014suggests a domestic setting. The event could have been a farewell party for an older gang member going off to join the army, which was a common occurrence. This image shows the photographer dancing in the center; he must have asked another partygoer to take this shot.",
