New York Street Scene



Today's picture is from the early 1900's. It shows the corner of 5th avenue and 42nd street in New York City. I love how the streets are shared between carriages and motorized vehicles. In this picture, it looks like there are still more carriages.

  6. Too bad you cannot get a current picture of the same street corner and do a side by side comparison!! That would be neat.

  9. I wonder if the pedestrians still had to take their chances or if bylaws to protect them had been enacted yet ?
