from The Library of Congress

  "Lowering skies, dampness, and low temperature could not quench the enthusiasm of the crowds who watched the parade of 5000 marines and sailors." According to NYT of May 18, 1915 select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FA0E12FB39581673...

  The scene today, without the grandstand of course, in front of the New York Public Library, looking south down 5th avenue, toward the corner of 40th street, where the same corner building stands: maps.google.com/maps?q=5th+avenue+%26+42nd+street+new+yor...

Electric tram at Mosmans Bay

from Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons

• John Cowper said:

  Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons C-class tramcar - note the side mounted trolley pole. I'm willing to be corrected, but this may indicate that the shot was taken in 1897 or 1898. The C-class entered service in 1896.

  John Cowper This site at section 2.5.1 has the Mosman Wharf tramway extended and electrified in 1897 too - www.railpage.org.au/tram/goddmack.html . Also the wikipedia article - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trams_in_Sydney#First_period_1886_-... I will see if I can find an exact date via Trove - the date is important because it might help date the entire album, which seems to be October 1897 from this march in George St -

• beachcomber australia said:

  Too easy! Trove gives 19.2.1897, several months before this photo (?) as the "official trial trip" - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/14089640 . THis article gives amazing full details of the cars ... enough to delight any trainspotter or tramspotter!

  The tramway route on an interactive 1900 map - www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview/?pi=nla.map-rm2358-sd&rgn=... I think this photo is somewhere on Avenue Road - perhaps this bend on GoogleMapsStreetView ? - goo.gl/maps/qByhv

• John Cowper said:

  beachcomber australia Well done, as usual! Appreciate the press article re the test!
