This was a wonderful essay! I've recently started a personal collection of candid photos from the early 20th century. It's fascinating how images of people laughing and relaxed conjure your imagination and transport you that moment in time. <3
I live in Oslo and recognized some of the building immediately! These are incredible and make me very grateful to live in a city with so much historic beauty still intact. Great post, thank you!
Thank you — and you definitely should! Even though I lived in NY most of my life, I still haven’t been. I’m pretty sure they have a car very similar to the one Evans would have ridden!

Thank you so much, and that collection sounds like a dream. I feel the same way about old candid photos — It feels like time travel!
I hadn't seen any of these before, and I enjoyed the coupling of two disparate photographers.

I love that! It is so beautiful when you can see the history in your city. Thank you for reading and for your kind words!
This is so captivating! Makes me want to take a pit stop to the Transit Museum over off the Jay Street/Metrotech station.

So much personality in that first photo! And I've stood in the exact same locations as at least two of them.
That is so cool! And I love that first photo — Størmer’s series includes a few pictures of her. She has a great smile!
