Dec 24th 2014: The first colour photographs of America

[DanaC]

Beautiful.

One of the things I love about photos of this time is how much people lived their lives on the streets of big cities.

Looks not too dissimilar to London at the time - this would have been just before, or just as, New York overtook London as the metropolis of the modern world.

At first glance I thought it was London, until I noticed that they were driving on the wrong side of the road.

Having looked at Mulberry Street on Street View, it would probably still be recognisable to any of those souls pictured. I haven't managed to find the exact location, as it is a very long road.

If any Dwellar has the inclination, and time, to pin down the exact spot, please post. Ta!

Mulberry Street. Street View.
