Description
Colorized photo from 1910
Original title: Around a bubbling cup
Photographer: Detroit publishing
Location: Lincoln Park Zoo, Chicago, Ill
The gist of this picture is about the bubbling cup in the foreground. Its a sanitary drinking fountain, allowing people to sip water without having to share a glass, even though they seem to be doing it wrong.
The background is the Landmark Cafe, it used to be called the Red Roof Cafe. It's still in use today, I got most of the colors from that. But I don't know if that was the original location. They said that it was near the otter pool, which you can see on the right, that's what they are looking at. Yet today the otters are in a different spot, so they either moved one or the other. Plus that building in the back is gone.
There was some weirdness in the exposure. There was a dark band in the center and on the right. I had a hard time getting it even and bright again.
If you look carefully, you'll see a kid with tape across his nose. I assume he was in a fight, it wasn't a band aid either, those were invented later on, I checked. There is also a box of cracker jacks by the fountain.
Cosmetically, I removed a small child from the back of the kid looking at us. And the guy cut in half on the left.
