I really like the shadow of the photographer in the shot, Rob. I looked at the boys hat and discovered it was advertising Celery Cola. I had never heard of this softdrink.
This is what I found: Celery-Cola was a celery-flavored soft drink created in 1887 by James Mayfield and manufactured in Birmingham by his Celery-Cola Company from 1899 to 1910, when the Pure Food and Drug Administration successfully prosecuted the company for unhealthful amounts of cocaine and caffeine in its beverages.
So much to enjoy and explore in this one.

More great colorization from the master.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

I too really like that the photographers shadow can be seen, the master has done it again, kudos Rob. I found that bit of information from Tick rather interesting as well, I never heard of Celery Cola, and a interesting story line to go with the hat. tigs=^..^=

Okay, the shadow of Hines operating his big box camera substantiates what I said in my comment on your last submission, that the boys were looking at him instead of the lens. It's interesting that a period photographer would shoot with his shadow in the frame but, then again, I've had plenty of "oops" in my career (remember to always remove the lens cap FIRST!).

This is another one that reminds of that movie and I found the name of it, The Newsies, a musical made in 1992. Anyway this is another nice one.

I found a more expansive image from a few years later. It adds a little context to the narrow angle view above.

Based on the caption "Washington Street looking East from Meridian Street" from that postcard, I'm pretty sure it's this intersection on Google street view.

The building with the old-time clock should be the same corner as the one just over the kid's shoulder.

Rob, if I read the comments on images of this series, often provided with additional information/links, only one conclusion is possible: this series of very old photographs is still 'alive and kicking', ☺. The credits for this go to you. Your meritorious way of editing and colorization has created enthusiasm to Caedes-friends , including myself. Thanks a lot for that, my friend!

You have added value to an already wonderful (in my eyes) photo. The shadows make it special and your colouring makes it perfect

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

I see the Danbury Hat Company had a large sign, indicating a storefront in Indianapolis. Danbury, Connecticut was home to numerous hat companies. Perhaps most famous was the Stetson Hat Company. Millions of hats were produced in the city, though the last company pulled out in the early 1960s. Left behind was the pollution byproduct - dyes and mercury, the later being the cause of the 'mad as a hatter' phrase. More fine work by you and Mr. Hine.

Thanks to all the Caedes members above who invest their time and effort into comments, narratives, links and personal insights. For sure history lives in us all amazing how a little color brings things into perspective. Makes us more aware of the good and the bad.
