A newsstand in 1935. Full image here, large enough to browse. Lots of movie magazines, and generic detective and western magazines, but there's a Doc Savage; and Flying Aces looks good, and what about Horror? and The Spider? Just my luck, they seem to be sold out of Weird Tales... No, but wait! There it is.

Hi, it's been a while since you posted this photo, but is it possible to know the complete reference? Where did you find it? Do we know who took it? Any info will be greatly appreciated. I'm doing a PhD on comics and I am including a short history of newsstand distribution.
It's a photograph by Berenice Abbott, which you can find better reproduced here:
