Old Professional Photographs of USA Cities

 

These are photos taken by professional photographers.

Notice how sharp and clear most of the photos are and these are 100 years old.

 

There aren't many old photos this good, remember they didn't have film or digital photo cards in those days.

Most probable is that these were glass plate images that were taken thru a “pin hole” type camera and the opening was timed just right to get a good exposure.

 

Developing was another tedious task during which they had to be careful not to break the glass plates!

They are very impressive, I love old photos particularly of places I know. The couple from NYC were great.
