100 year old pictures ...

 

 

These were really professional photographers who took these pictures... Note how sharp and clear most of the photos are and these are over a 100 years old. There aren't many old photos as good, remember they didn't have film or digital photo cards in those days. Most probable is that these were glass plate images and taken thru a pin hole type camera and the opening was timed just right to get a dark enough exposure. Developing was another tedious task which they had to be careful not to break the glass! American cities a Century ago Woodward Avenue, Detroit , Michigan, in 1917. 2. Atlantic City, 1910. 3. The main street of Memphis , north of Avenue Gayoso, 1910. 4. Station �Louisville-Nashville,� Florida , in 1910. 5. Forsyth Street, Jacksonville , Florida, in 1910. Love those cars. 6. The beach in Atlantic City , 1915. Note the men in coats and ties. 7. Grant Avenue after an earthquake in San Francisco in 1906. I didn't realize there was so much destruction in that earthquake. 8. Carts for transporting dairy Thompson , Washington , 1927. How in the world did the dairy get those horses so evenly lined up. 9. Washington, DC, 1914. Not so thoughty having those horses run on a railroad tracks. (thoughty? Must have been a popular word back in the day) 10. Cadillac Square, Detroit , Michigan, 1916. 11. Ninth Street, Washington DC, 1915. 12. I wouldn't want to walk across this street in a long dress. 13.
