Yet somehow everyone there looked neater and more well dressed than people these days.
Love it. Thank you! When they show 2023 , everyone is on their phone w/ blue pink hair and sweatpants with pussy hat.
But the real question is how were all those buildings there already? They were still on horses and buggies and little cars.
I’m reading, “Exposing the Expositions” by Howdie Mickoski right now. The time period between 1850-1915 (as we know it today) appears to be heavily redacted.
Thank you for posting that. Very interesting. Virtually everybody was wearing hats. I only saw a few children without them. The way they walked, moved, and posed was just as we do today. Very interesting indeed.
Looks like heaven compared to cities now, even with the horse droppings.
They usually had one set of clothes.
Every time I see a picture like this I can't help but think of the stench from all those once a week bathers.
People had bigger problems then.
Agree. Indoor plumbing was a revolutionary idea at the time. One simply did not toss their day's clothes into a hamper or the corner to wash on their day off. Clothes were hand washed, so a lot of articles were worn over multiple days.
If everyone stinks, then no one stinks!
For manufacturing jobs, no less!
yes, amazing! So many real men back then. Things were harder back then but it felt more real.
How the hell would you know?
