Wikipedia:Picture peer review/Salt Lake City, 1909

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Salt Lake City, 1909

I've been going through the Harry Schipler photos at the Utah History Research Center, and there's some amazing stuff, but nothing as mind-boggling as this. Those hats! That house! Not how I picture staid, turn-of the century Mormons. The car is a 1909 Thomas Flyer, btw.

Well, darn. [Looks at list] Yeah, most of the scans at this archive are pretty lo-res, dammit. Pity, since they're mostly 4x5 or 8x10 glass-plate negs.... Good photographer, too. Pete Tillman (talk) 14:57, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Just curious - how do you know they're Mormons? --jjron (talk) 08:34, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Very belated reply: I don't, really, but there weren't many non-LDS folk in SLC back then. Cheers, Pete Tillman (talk) 06:51, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
