Its wide panoramic format takes in an entire town square at once, with horse-drawn carriages moving across the open space. Carriages like these were the everyday transport of American cities well into the early twentieth century, before motor vehicles largely replaced them. Panoramic cameras of the period swept across a scene to capture street life in a way a standard frame could not. The edges of the picture are worth a close look, where traffic, storefronts and onlookers show how city streets worked before the automobile took over.
