OriginalNew Kensington, Pennsylvania in 1896, seen in a lithograph by Thaddeus Mortimer Fowler.
Reason
I grew up in this area, and seeing what it was like a hundred years before is fascinating. It also adds quite a lot to the article. It shows many things pointed out in the text, such as the passenger ferry and the Pittsburgh Reduction Company, and the opera house.
