Description
Colorized photo from 1904
Original title: Fountain Square
Photographer: Detroit publishing
Location: 98 W Fifth St, Cincinnati Ohio
There was a big crack in the plate on this one, which had to be cut apart, realigned and cloned back because I think some of the photo was missing in that brake. While I was at it, I also removed a bit of that building on the left, as it added nothing but a weird shadow, and some branches on the right for balance.
There was a postcard of this area, but it was terrible. And while I have made this location from another year, quite a few things changed in 3 years time. Colors of buildings were different, a few awnings changed, and that huge cantilever sign was different. They added a back to it so I guess you didn't see through to the other side.
A weird detail to look for is the tiny man on the outside of the building in the back. I assume he is either a jumper or a very dedicate window washer. You can find him around the top of the second pedestal, near Carew Tower.
I'm guessing this is either a warm winter day, or a chilly early spring day. Everyone is huddled on a bench, and there isn't a single leaf, not on the trees or the ground.
