John Vachon, "New York, New York. Times Square on a rainy day" (1943) (b/w original)

Fascinating to see the differences between the b/w original and a very good job of colorization. There's a richness and saturation to the color version that makes it look like Kodachrome film.

Times Square, Manhattan, New York City, 1943.
