    Echo Richard Arthur Norton the exact date could be tracked back this way. Fine tones across the range, excellent negative.
  • technogeo said:
    The date is scratched into the negative along the lower right side: 8/2/13 (reversed). The same date appears in the companion photo along the lower left side.

    August 1913 saw the reformation of the taxi hacking industry in NYC. A new public hacking ordinance was introduced to abolish private cab stands and reduce taxi fare rates. The new ordinance went into effect at 0000hours on August 1, 1913. A new style of taximeter was also required adjusted to register the new rates of fare. ( ref. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9900E2DC163DE633A... & As you could imagine, the taxi industry did not take kindly to the reforms. (ref. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9A0CE5DC163DE633A... ) According to an article in the NYT of August 3, 1913, August 2 was a big day for vehicle inspections: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9403EFDD113BE633A...

    I guess nothing changes - taxi drivers are dodgy. Public transport should have priority over cars. A taxi did a U-turn in front of a tram I was on and it was a write off. I took some photos: www.flickr.com/photos/furphy/213015383/ and the taxi www.flickr.com/photos/furphy/213015543 -- Seen on your photo stream. (?)

    For admirers of Sam Hood's photos, there is a book - Sydney Exposures, Through the eyes of Sam Hood & his studio 1925 - 1950, [probably] published by the State Library of NSW,
  • State Library of New South Wales said:
    Yes - this book was published by us and was written by our curator of photograhs, Alan Davies. If you are looking for a location of this book near you, you can use this link on World Cat.
