As always, Forgotten NY has a great page with some very cool color photos and accompanying descriptions of scenes around NYC.
http://www.forgotten-ny.com/STREET SCENES/astheywere/astheywere.html


The rest of the pictures can be found here:
http://webapp1.dlib.indiana.edu/cushman/results/result.do?query=state:"New+York"&action=browse

and the entire 14,000 color picture collection with shots from around the world and the country is here:

Like these from the New York collection:

Entitled South Ferry Bums, taken June 6, 1941.

or this one of a crowd gathers in front of Red Cross station during salvage collection (Oct. 4, 1942).

Great Shots!

I'm familiar with the Cushman Collection but Forgotten NY is new to me. Thanks for the link.
