    The highest-resolution version of the photo available on the LOC website shows that this photo was taken on East 57th Street in Manhattan. It's not exactly clear what cross-street it is, though: it could be 2nd Avenue, because the block on 2nd Ave. between 57th and 58th currently has a reasonably well-preserved set of townhouses similar to the ones in the photo (though the corner now has a McDonald's).

    Noteworthy details: right-hand drive; acetylene headlights; smooth tread tires, decorative striping and clear coats of varnish on hand crank and chassis.

    technogeo-- Thanks for the details about this car and for pointing out the reflection of the photographer in the headlights. We are always interested in pictures of photographers at work, and this is an unusual one!

    3 modes of transportation: walking, horse & carriage and the new fangled horseless carriage ;) My favorite part of the pic is the carriage & driver and his interaction with Mr. Bain, his glance at the spectacle on the street that was no doubt caused by the car and photographer. A great illustration of the rapid change taking place at the time. Fascinating.

    Maybe it is inverted... sometimes that happens which would explain why the steering wheel is on the wrong side... just a thought.. Wishing you a blessed and beautiful Easter!!!
