    1. Sure it’s not older? No cars visible in the 20s is highly unlikely plus the clothes look much more victorian than 20s

    2. This looks like a city that would be fun to visit.
      Made for people, not cars.

      The street is actually surprisingly clean, given the number of horses visible.

    3. Based on the women’s silhouettes, this is probably about 1900, no later than 1910. That “pigeon-breast” shape caused by the s-bend corest that pushed the hips back and bust forward, most visable in the woman in the center of the street in the purple skirt, makes this Edwardian era.

    4. What an exciting time to be alive this must have been. If I could pick any life span in history to live, I think id pick being born in 1885 and living until 1975 or so.

      From the horse age to the space age. What a ride!

    5. It’s Broad St. looking north towards Wall Street. The NYSE is center left and you can see Federal Hall deep in the background.
