City Hall Park in lower Manhattan is the setting here, with a pair of biplanes droning over the trees and rooftops, a sight that would have looked strange to anyone who remembered the horse-and-carriage era. The park sits at the civic heart of the city, flanked by the 1812 City Hall and the courthouses and offices that grew up around it, so the aircraft add an unexpected note of modern motion to a place long associated with government and ceremony. Early powered flight was still a novelty in the 1910s and 1920s, and pictures like this one capture the moment when airplanes first became a regular part of city skies.
