American Cities A Century Ago

American Cities A Century Ago - 28 ImagesA selection of photos of the largest U.S. cities, made about 100 years ago.
These photographers were really professionals. Note how sharp and clear most of the photos are, and they are over 100 years old. They were probably made using large format view cameras using glass plates.
There aren't many old photos as sharp as these; remember they didn't have digital cameras in those days! RIGHT CLICK-VIEW IMAGE to see full picture!
