    the date is September 1907, Geneve - according to the SHolem Aleichem book, this is an iconic image, I hope the individuals on it are well known to the CJH

    Great photo! I've had a lot of fun trying to figure out exactly where this shot was taken. I noticed that under the "additional information" section on the right it says it was taken some time in 1910, but the photo itself says it was taken on May 1, 1911.

    This article from the NY Times - dated May 2, 1911 - appears to detail this parade. It calls it the "annual Socialist and organized labor May Day parade" which included "10,000 trade union members of both sexes." The parade paid special tribute to the victims of the recent Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire (as noted above). The article mentions that the parade passed the scene of the fire (the Asch building at Greene St. & Washington Pl.). Also, with regard to the umbrellas in the photo, the article states that a heavy rain began to fall as the parade approached Union Square. query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=990DEFDF1E3EE2...

    Oh crimony, I know exactly where this is. It's the corner of 13th Street and University Place. The building on the corner is now known as the Amalgamated Lithographers of America Building. Kevin Walsh has a current picture of it on his website; as you can see, it's lost a lot of its street-level facade.

    Fur business in the foreground is addressed 121. Based on link epicharmus supplied, it's 121 University Place. That's currently a business called Bar 13. Here's the scene in Google maps streetview. Note that the Ninth Regiment plaque, installed in 1908, used to be to the left of the entrance. Now it's to the right, on the corner (as described in ephicharmus' link, and visible in streetview).
