It’s 1933 in the photo. I like to think that it’s early in the morning, and these two news sellers are all ready for a new day, waiting for people to come out of the tenements and grab a paper on their way into the subway.


I just wish I knew where this newsstand was, and if these two vendors made a decent living.
