Forty years ago, New York City’s newspapers went on strike for nearly three months. Parks Commissioner Gordon Davis hired eight temporarily out-of-work New York Times photographers to document the city’s parks. Here: Tender vittles, cats on parade, Central Park Mall, Manhattan, 1978. (Photograph by D. Gorton/NYC Parks Photo Archive/Caters News Agency)
