Reason: I grew up in this area, and seeing what it was like a hundred years before is fascinating. It also adds quite a lot to the article. It shows many things pointed out in the text, such as the passenger ferry and the Pittsburgh Reduction Company, and the opera house.

Comment - There appears to be browning of the paper towards the edges. Overall this is very nice, but that's rather noticeable. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:25, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
