75 years ago this week,LIFE published a photo essay in the March 8 1943 issue called “American Sunday—LIFE Documents a Day.” According to the article, Sixteen LIFE photographers (who could be spared from covering the war fronts) were dispatched around the country to document a single winter Sunday (Jan. 10, and 1943). They traveled from Maine to California and places in between. This photo by the great photographer Andreas Feininger was featured - the original caption reads: “In modern York City’s Central Park,people in overcoats stand watching the winter-hardy ducks and swans as the afternoon shadows lengthen. The row of apartment houses in the background of this picture marks the line of Central Park South; the figures in the upper left are skaters on one of the park lakes. Looking at the birds and animals is a favorite Sunday afternoon sport in many U.
