Circa 1907. North Adams, Massachusetts. "Main Street, looking east." 8x10 inch dry plate glass negative, Detroit Publishing Company. View full size.
The ladies had erected a monument to Union soldiers of North Adams. It still stands. More here.
2 HP (literally), power steering, overstuffed seats, and ample "fuel" capacity.
I see Santa Claus crossing the street.
The man sitting in the wagon on the far right appears to have his arm around his Horse.
I appreciate seeing how they look today, fellow Shorpies BUT...am I the only one who laments the loss of small town charm in most of these updates? I have YET to see a picture where I say to myself "wow, this mostly empty-except for cars and a few pedestrians-street looks soooo much more interesting 100 plus years later".
So much to take in on this photo: The Geezer, the Battle-axe, the over laden hay wagon. And the fonts. Ohhhh the fonts...You want serif? We got some serious serif. You want non-serif? We got that too.
One of my favorites. Thanks Dave.
