New York City in the 1950s — A Visual Time Capsule

Описание: Step into mid-century New York City through a rare collection of original archival photographs from the 1950s. This visual journey reveals the streets, people, buildings, and everyday moments that defined one of the most iconic eras in American urban history.

From bustling avenues and neighborhood life to quiet corners frozen in time, each photograph in this film has been carefully preserved to show New York as it truly was — before modern skylines, before digital life, and before the city transformed into what we know today.

Each image is presented with its original title and a brief historical description, allowing you to experience these moments as the photographers captured them more than seventy years ago.
