It's been a long time since we last visited Charles W. Cushman's photos of New York (since 2003, in fact—though he's popped up here and there since then). Recently his images have been getting circulated again, so maybe it's time to take a fresh look back at his shots from 1941 and 1942 (we'll take a look at his 1960s photos tomorrow).
