NYC - 14th STREET, 1942. A Glimpse into the Lives of Everyday New Yorkers
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph transports us back to the bustling streets of New York City in 1942. The image captures a moment frozen in time on 14th Street, where a man and woman stand outside a shop, their identities forever unknown. The scene is filled with intriguing details that offer a glimpse into the daily lives of these individuals. The man holds a broom, suggesting he may be employed as a street sweeper or perhaps just lending his hand to keep the city clean. His attire reflects the fashion trends of that era - simple yet stylish. Meanwhile, the woman stands beside him holding what appears to be fish wrapped in paper, hinting at her role as either an employee or customer at this unidentified shop. Her clothing exudes elegance and sophistication despite being engaged in mundane activities. As we observe this snapshot from over seven decades ago, we are reminded of how much has changed while also recognizing certain timeless elements that still resonate today. The steep stairs leading up to shops remain unchanged even amidst modernization efforts throughout Manhattan's northeast region. Photographed by Marjory Collins for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), this image serves as an invaluable historical document capturing ordinary moments during extraordinary times. It offers us an opportunity to reflect upon our shared past and appreciate those who came before us, shaping New York City into what it is today.
