i wish i was born in the 1910s and witnessed this orphans going to coney island in autos and have this photos as one of my souveneirs. 'great photos'...

Just like another LOC photo, this was taken on the north side of New York City's Union Square, on East 17th Street to be specific. In fact, I've found a modern photo on flickr (not mine, btw) whose scope and angle closely matches this one! It seems that all of the buildings on Union Square East in this photo--save for the very tall one on the right--are gone, but that many (maybe all) of the ones behind them are still around.

This was the seventh annual auto excursion of Brooklyn orphans to Coney Island, sponsored by volunteer drivers from the Automobile Club, according to this NYT story: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9E04E...

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Australia in Black & White, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

That's great pic... it's so classic

Can anyone identify the station?

What does it represent? From the little what I have been able to find out is that people gathered for some sort of wandering or picnic or similar. Here 'mystery' can man that they took a train at random.

they are all smiling :)

This picture was taken from the southwest corner of the intersection of Calle de la Luna and Calle de San Jose in Old San Juan (facing north on San Jose). Is there a way to directly add geolocation tags to the pictures in this collection? question answered & geolocation tags included

¡Maravillosa! This is the first non B&W photo I see of San Juan during this period. What color and crispness! Jack Delano not only was a wonderful photographer but a very gifted musician who arrived in Puerto Rico as a Federal Government employee, felt in love with the country, its folklore and its people and never left. His contribution to Puerto Rican culture in terms of arts and music is incalculable.

WoW ... ! -- Seen on Flickr Blog. (?)

wonderful!!!

Photo description says "1941 Dec", while the Flickr date states sometime in 1940.
