The big picture: New Yorkers ice-skate into the 1960s

Neil Libbert, who has worked for the Observer and the Guardian for nearly 60 years, took this photograph of ice-skaters in Central Park in December 1960. It appeared on the front page of the Guardianon the last day of that month, referencing a long cold snap in New York City that ran beyond John F Kennedy’s inauguration the following January.
