I wonder what's at Nos. 504-506 now.

Those particular little buildings aren't there anymore. What's there now is the side of 372 W Broadway, which now houses a Tommy Hilfiger store. maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=504...

Hi, this photo has been discussed in one of the threads in the Flickr Commons group, and we'd love to have this added to the group pool!

Genial!

Would that be the Declaration of War?

As many of the other images are to do with either the 1911 or 1926 strikes, I imagine this is a proclamation imposing emergency powers/legislation on the Government. i.e. allowing the imposition of curfews, no go areas, comandeering buses and vehicles etc.

very interesting period piece

Hi, I think that this is the Proclamation of King Edward VII. The Proclamation is always made in the same terms and is signed by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, Privy Councillors, the Lord mayor of London and other City representatives. Here is the King Edward VII Proclamation. "Whitehall, January 23, 1901. On Tuesday afternoon, the twenty-second of January instant, at half-past six o'clock, our late most gracious Sovereign Queen Victoria expired at Osborne House, Isle of Wight, in the eighty-second year of Her age, and the sixty-fourth year of Her reign. This event has caused one universal feeling of regret and sorrow to Her late Majesty's faithful and attached subjects, to whom She was endeared by the deep interest in their welfare which She invariably manifested, as well as by the signal virtues which marked and adorned Her character. Upon the intimation of this distressing event, the Lords of the Privy Council assembled this day at St. James's Palace, and gave orders for proclaiming His present Majesty, who made a most gracious declaration to them, and caused all the Lords and others of the late Queen's Privy Council, who were then present, to be sworn of His Majesty's Privy Council. Whereas it hath pleased Almighty God to call to His mercy our late Sovereign Lady Queen Victoria, of Blessed and Glorious Memory, by whose Decease the Imperial Crown of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland is solely and rightfully come to the High and Mighty Prince Albert Edward : We, therefore, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of this Realm, being here assisted with these of her late Majesty's Privy Council, with numbers of other principal gentlemen of quality, with the Lord-Mayor, Aldermen, and citizens of London, do now hereby, with one voice and consent of tongue and heart, publish and proclaim, That the High and Mighty Prince Albert Edward, is now, by the death of our late Sovereign, of happy memory, become our only lawful and rightful Liege Lord Edward the Seventh, by the Grace of God, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India: To whom we do acknowledge all faith and constant obedience, with all hearty and humble affection, beseeching God, by whom Kings and Queens do reign, to bless the Royal Prince Edward the Seventh, with long and happy years to reign over us. Given at the Court at St. James's, the twenty-third day of January, in this year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and one".

a sundae for 10 cents? awesome! :D

More about the photographer, Berenice Abbott (1898-1991): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berenice_Abbott

Our assignment-to select a photo that represents the future of media or media management-could essentially yield a variety of photos, as shown by the array of photos that the class has already selected. Some may wonder how this old photograph plays into the future of media, but I strongly believe that, while newspapers are gradually becoming obsolete, the media will eventually make a full cycle and bring the newspaper back. The theory behind my prediction is the tetrad of media effects, which I learned about in a previous communication theory class. Essentially, this tetrad questions what a certain medium enhances, makes obsolete, retrieves, and flips into when pushed to extremes. I believe that, some day, print media will be retrieved in some way, shape, or form. -Karen Bonanno, BTMM 1655
