Another photochrom, but of New York City. Taken in 1900 at Mulberry Street.
Like last month's featured image, this beauty is a photochrom taken in 1900. Its postcard-like quality makes it seem as if someone wished me best greetings from 1900 New York. This technology was far beyond its time, and, if you enlarge the image, you would realize that someone had to have worked tremendously hard on it to give it that nice color.
