  Photo of James M. Cox, Democratic Party nominee for President in 1920, leading a parade on 42nd Street (Manhattan) from west to east, as he approaches the intersection of Madison Avenue and 42nd. The photographer's perspective is from the north side of the intersection on Madison Avenue, looking toward 42nd St. to the southwest and Cox as he approaches the intersection. The Union Carbon and Carbide Building Union Carbide and Carbon Building (built in 1913, demolished in 2001) serves as the backdrop for the scene. Here's a rough approximation of the view today, via Google Street View: www.google.com/maps/@40.7528447,-73.9792767,3a,75y,270h,9... Art Siegel
