Thee is nothing more satisfying in the world than a little bit of perspective. So imagine my joy at finding a first hand view of 1920's traffic in New York ... mesmerising. They had a bell clearly, but even then they had to use the pavement to keep moving. Makes traffic today seem tame by compirison, i hope you enjoy.
The movie is taken from the Stillman Fires Collection at the Prelinger Archives. The original version was silent.
