EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a moment frozen in time on Fifth Avenue near 57th Street in New York City back in July 1939. Taken by the renowned photographer Dorothea Lange, this image offers a fascinating glimpse into the vibrant energy and constant motion that defined early 20th-century Manhattan.
