Today's picture is a photograph depicting four women beneath the Tudor City Bridge (seen in shadow) on October 31, 1954. They are waiting for a bus.
The photo was taken by Vivan Maier, a rather mysterious figure. She worked as a nanny her whole life, and, on the side, was an amateur street photographer. When she died in 2009, she left behind a large photo archive of her work ‒ over 100,000 negatives ‒ which had never been seen before. It lay undiscovered until it was purchased at an auction house, and the cult of Vivian Maier was born.
