New York c. 1942

"New York", taken by Helen Levitt in 1942, is a black and white street photograph depicting four children walking away from the viewer. The children are walking on a city street, with a large stone wall on the left. Soap bubbles float in the air above the street. Levitt's work captured the everyday life of New York City in the mid-20th century. Her photography is known for its candid and intimate portrayals of street life, including children, families, and ordinary people.
