Chicago, Il, 1960's-ish. This is one of the 30-40,000 6x6 negatives discovered at a local auction here in Chicago by a photographer named Vivian Maier. View full size.
Ford
That's a 1965 Galaxie in the middle.
Narrowing the date down a bit...
The picture was taken in late '64 at the earliest - the right-most car is a 1965 Chevy Bel Air or Biscayne (the Impala had three tail lights). I learned to drive on a car just like that one.
Chicago Sun Times to the right
I believe that's the Wrigley building behind and the Chicago Sun Times building immediately to (and mostly out of the frame) to the right, putting this on... Wabash?
This is not Lilliput...
...but the guy on the right seems to be playing Gulliver.
Welcome to Shorpy!
I've read about your discovery of her cache of negatives. It's a fabulous body of work, all the more amazing that she made such strong, well-composed photos without the visual feedback of even bothering to develop most of the film!
And it's more astounding that the film withstood the years and allowed such good results when it was finally processed.
Thank you for rescuing these photos. Thank you for sharing them. Vivian Maier's photos.
