Vintage Photograph From 1949 Shows Three Women Doing Laundry in the Central Park Lake
Back to Article
Dry Day, on which New Yorkers were supposed to go shaveless, bathless and laundryless, will probably go down in history as 'Dirty Day' -- but not for these three cuties, Copacabana gals, who observed the water-saving ukase and at the same time stayed next to godliness. They are shown rub-a-dub-dubbing their undies, using the Central Park lake for a washtub, with soap and elbow grease combining with the ancient washboard to complete the job.
