Let's test your detective skills again. Look carefully at these three scenes. Click on each photograph to see a larger image. How do these scenes compare with the market scene on Mulberry Street? Look carefully for clues such as street signs and clothing. Are you still in the 1900s and in New York City, or have you been transported to a different time and place in America's past? How can you tell?

To guide your observation, refer back to the questions on Handout 1: Analyzing Images. Click on the Back button of your browser to return to this page.

When you have completed your investigation, in your notebook or on the handout, write a caption including a title, date, and description for each photograph.

Compare your captions with the bibliographic records from the Library of Congress. Click on the numbers above to see the records. Go ahead to check your detective work.
