No free food, free housing, free medical care, free cell phones and free laptops for those folks.

Great find - thanks for posting. I'm originally from NYC and my ancestors lived there from 1851 - 1965.
This photo, IIRC, shows an area in Brooklyn now (being gentrified) known as DUMBO - Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass.
My great aunt lived a few streets away in 1910, in area known as Vinegar Hill.

Hundreds of pictures dating from the Civil War. Many early 1900’s pictures of NYC and other cities circa 1900-1920’s on.

I had a book entitled, Letters to America. A sister in Endland coresponds with her sister in America Circa 1820.
She describes NYC as charming, friendly, and clean.

I bet there is not a shred of graffiti to be found in the pics.

Like a time machine.
I have many snapshots from the era in family photos, but these are large format shots taken by pros, of life at the time.

It's not 'never before seen' but it is gritty...

Had to chuckle at the picture of W 40th and 6th.
The entrance to the building where I worked in the mid 60’s is mere feet from there, but it sure looked a wholebunchalot different. ;)

IMPORTANT NOTE: All people in the pictures, including those unseen but present at the time inside the buildings, stores, trains and churches, are now dead.

No fat people in the pool picture in 1940....no blacks either.
