A Bullfight in the Bull ring in Mexico City in the 1900's. When I lived in Mexico City back in the 1950's, 1960's and early 1970's, this event still occurred on Saturday, and it was on TV, and it was one of the things the old colonial power of Spain left in Mexico as part of the culture. It's still done but it's not a big deal as it was then.

That's part of the New York city port area in New York and New Jersey.  :)

A 1920's flapper that was a little scandalous for the time.  :)

Ford Model T roadster. The Model T was the vehicle which transformed Ford into a giant company.  :)

100+ years ago, because it was at the Mississippi river delta in Louisiana, it was the biggest and most important city in the American South.  :)

Yes, but it’s actually in Jersey City according to the filename.  Today, you would see Battery Park City and One World Trade Center across the river.

Ah, sol has posted the other photo that Cris mentioned. I guess it was five years between the two pictures

This is Margaret Bourne-White, a photojournalist with apparently no fear of heights.  I know I posted a pic of her popping out of one of those chrome eagles on the Chrysler Building in one of the off-topic threads a while back, but can’t find it.  Speaking of the Chrysler Building, there it is in the background.  This is 1935.
