Carriages and wagons fill the foreground of this 1905 panorama of a New York City street, a reminder of how thoroughly horses still ruled urban travel before the automobile took over. The wide format lets the eye move along the whole block, from the traffic crowding the roadway to the pedestrians on the sidewalks and the storefronts behind them. Panoramic views like this were popular in the early twentieth century, and they remain valuable to researchers for the details they capture of street life, dress, and commerce in a city in the middle of rapid growth.
