This is a black and white photograph capturing a moment in time. It features two young men standing on a street, appearing to be engaged in a conversation or preparing to step into a building. The man on the left is wearing a cap, while his companion on the right sports a beret. Both are dressed in attire that suggests a bygone era, with coats and ties that appear to be of a style popular from around 1910 to 1925. The architecture around them hints at an urban setting, possibly New York City given the style of the building's entrance.

The image evokes a sense of history, perhaps capturing a moment before their journey or a pause in their daily lives. The quality and condition of the photograph suggest it may be quite old, adding to its historical value.

This is an old black and white photograph capturing a scene on a city street. There are three men in the picture, each dressed differently yet all wearing coats, suggesting it might be a cool or formal occasion. The man on the left is closer to the camera, while the other two are further back, creating a sense of depth in the image. They appear to be in conversation or perhaps waiting for something, as they stand near an entrance, possibly to a building or store.

The setting is unmistakably urban, with buildings and street elements that hint at a bustling city environment. The style of clothing and the quality of the photograph suggest it may have been taken in the early 20th century. There's no visible text in the image to provide additional context or location details. The photo evokes a sense of nostalgia, capturing a moment that has passed, yet still resonates with its subjects and their surroundings.

The image is a vintage black and white photograph capturing a moment on a city street. It features an individual in the foreground, dressed in clothing that suggests it could be from the early 20th century, possibly during World War I or around that time period. The person is seen running down the sidewalk, adding a sense of urgency to the scene.

In the background, there are several other people walking on the same street. They are dressed in a variety of clothing styles, which contributes to the overall historical ambiance of the photograph. Buildings line both sides of the street, hinting at an urban setting. The architecture and style of the photograph suggest that it was taken in New York City.

The image has a tattered edge, indicating that it is likely a physical print rather than a digital reproduction. It bears the mark of time and history, making it not just a simple depiction of an era but also a window into a past moment frozen in time. The subjects' expressions and actions, as well as the detailed urban background, all contribute to creating a sense of the everyday life of the period portrayed.

The image is a black and white photograph taken in New York, depicting three women on a sidewalk. They are all dressed in fashionable clothing of the early 20th century, with hats and jackets that suggest they may be out for a day in the city. One woman appears to be looking into a storefront window, while the other two seem to be engaged in conversation. The setting suggests an urban environment, possibly around Wanamaker's department store, as indicated by the text on the image.

The photo captures a moment from the past, offering a glimpse into the daily lives of women during this period. Their attire and demeanor suggest that they were well-dressed, indicating a sense of social status or occasion. The presence of Wanamaker's as a location could imply that they are shopping or running errands in an upscale district, where the department store was likely known for its fashion offerings and luxury goods.

The monochromatic quality of the image adds to its vintage feel, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. The women's clothing, such as their hats, and the architecture in the background provide further context about the time period and setting of the photograph. The overall composition of the image conveys a snapshot of social interaction and everyday life in New York during that time.

The image depicts a scene from an era when photography was predominantly in black and white. There are two individuals, both wearing long coats and hats, suggesting a colder season or a more formal dress code of the time period the photograph was taken. They are standing on what appears to be a sidewalk, with one person slightly ahead of the other. The background is nondescript but suggests an urban setting with buildings that have a textured facade typical of older architectural styles. There are no visible texts or distinctive brands in the image, and there is no immediate indication of the exact location within New York State based on the visual information provided. The photograph captures a moment from the past, offering a glimpse into the fashion and social norms of that era.

@ai6yr both can be true. #Wanamaker was across the road and capitalised on the idea. #DownWithDescartes

I got a "new" hat for Christmas from mom. Found in a little antique/gift store I saw it on the top of a cabinet and was sure it was only for display. But it fit me exactly and had a price tag. Marked John Wanamaker. #bowler #hat #wanamaker

Self-portrait of me wearing my new black bowler. Looking up and over my rimless glasses at the camera, a small bit of silvery-looking hair curling around my right ear. Lit from side against black background only face and rim and crown on that side is illuminated. Clockwork orange or Magritte. You decide.
