I am CLEARLY going crazy… I thought I was looking at some colourized photos here yesterday -- or early this morning. MOST were of the interwar period -- a 1925 gasoline station, New York street scene ca. 1918 (not all; IIRC one was of US President Martin Van Buren!!!)… Now I can not find them. Help me Mr. Bill!!! |

Cool image but it looks orders of magnitude too clean for the era to my eye. We're talking the age of the steam locomotive and there is no motorized water tanker wetting down the street to keep the dust down. And where is the street sweeper to get that sidewalk so pristine? Otherwise, cool to see. |

Horse drawn water tankers can water down a street just as well. Street sweepers were one guy with a shovel and broom and a big trashcan on wheels sweeping his district every day. Very common until after WWII. Mike Bunkermeister Creek
