New York's Central Park on a Sunday in September 1942, with the twin towers of the San Remo apartments in the background. View full size. Medium-format nitrate negative by Marjory Collins for the Office of War Information.
Where is everyone?

Gotta see if I can find the spot this was taken. I wonder if those two big trees are still there?
