Amazing photo - such a different time. People will have been living many to a room with no indoors sanitation.

Notice how all the children are barefoot.

That looks a pretty tough life.

Any idea where this would be in modern Glasgow?

A.E. Smith (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

Could this be en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Smith ? One picture on the Wikipedia page has a similar hat and possibly the same neck and features. If so, he was a democratic politician in state government in New York during this period and became Governor in 1919. www.u-s-history.com/pages/h1495.html has a picture that looks even more like this one. That makes him Alfred Emmanuel Smith
Wystan said:
Alfred E. Smith, later the Governor of New York. He looks very young here, compared to his familiar image as the insouciant but unsuccessful Presidential candidate of the Democratic Party in 1928.
Anne (LOC P&P) said:
swanq and Wystan: Looks like the same guy to me! We'll add his full name to the description next time we update.
Wystan said:
At the time of this photo (1913), Al Smith had just begun a term as Speaker of the New York State Assembly. @swanq: there is only one "m" in Emanuel . . . . LOC -- it looks like Smith was photographed on the steps of the New York Capitol, in Albany.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Jewish People and History - Ancient and Modern, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
Saul שאול Davis said:
Does anyone know what a "Jewish New Year Parade" is? As far as I know there is no such thing, and a google search got me nowhere (except back here)! Maybe they mean Tashlikh or maybe Jews at a parade on 1 January!?
Helene Smith said:
i have never heard of this before, either... very curious... i will do some hunting when i can, too...
Ari Hahn said:
Probably a misnomer. The photographer or person cataloging it noted many people dressed up and walking in the same direction (to the synagogue) and called it a parade.
Lanterna said:
Building is too windowed for a warehouse - maybe a factory or even a school. There's a wall plaque just before the right border; maybe with sufficient resolution it could be read. Agree that 'parade' is misnomer/misinterpretation, but Sept 12, 1912 was indeed the beginning of Rosh Hashonah. They must have been on the way to services..
