Touring New York

Touring New York. An original photograph ( 18 cm. x 13 cm.) mounted on a grey pasteboard (25,5 cm. x 20.5 cm. ) with green text. Not dated, but around 1920. A very nice vintage print with around 30 persons in elegant dresses and hats, sitting in an open car (only the horses are missing). A boy on the street leaning towards the wagon behind gives this photo an extra touch.
