New York City photos by Charles W. Cushman reveal 1940s life in the Big Apple | Mail Online
Charles Weever Cushman’s pictures are even more impressive today, as they were taken on pricey colour Kodachrome and look far more recent than they actually are.
During its heyday, many Kodak and independent laboratories processed Kodachrome; by 2010, one Kodak-certified facility remained: Dwayne's Photo in Parsons, Kansas. On 14 July 2010, it was announced that the last roll of Kodachrome to be manufactured was developed by Dwayne's for photographer Steve McCurry on assignment for National Geographic. The 36 slides will be permanently housed at the Eastman House in Rochester, New York and most of the pictures have been published on the Internet by Vanity Fair magazine.
Dwaynes Photo announced it would cease Kodachrome processing on 30 December 2010. However, the company received such a large quantity of film during December 2010 that processing continued until 18 January 2011.
