This is video archive gold right here! BB has come across a striking video of Helen Keller and her teacher Anne Sullivan as Sullivan explains how Helen Keller learned to speak despite being deaf and blind.
This newsreel was taken in the 1930’s.
Elevated rail line at Herald Square
December 27, 2008 @ 1:47 am
I came across this lovely photo of Herald Square on July 16, 1936 taken by Berenice Abbott (spelling?) and I couldn’t believe that the area had an elevated track at one point in time. For the most part, the area looks very much like it does today with the exception, of course, of the elevated railway. I get the impression from this photo that New York must have been a fun place to live in during the 1930’s.
