Empty Cities in The 1860's But...Where Are The People?
THE NARRATIVE (from AI)
---
Photographs from the 1860s showing large cities without people are quite fascinating. The absence of people in these photos is often due to the long exposure times required by the photographic technology of the era.

MORE DESERTED CITIES

Boston: An aerial photo of Boston was captured from a hot air balloon in 1860. It's both the oldest image of the city, as well as the oldest surviving aerial photograph.
LOS ANGELES: A cityscape photo from 1877 shows Los Angeles, California, with Southern Pacific Railroad facilities in the distance and many houses, yards, and empty streets in the foreground.
EDO (now Tokyo): A panorama of Edo showing daimyo residences was taken around 1865 or 1866.
AMERICAN WEST: In the 1860s and 1870s, photographer Timothy O’Sullivan created some of the best-known images in American History. After covering the U.S. Civil War, O’Sullivan was the official photographer on the United States Geological Exploration of the Fortieth Parallel under Clarence King. His job was to photograph the West to attract settlers. In so doing, he became one of the pioneers in the field of geo photography.
These photographs provide a unique glimpse into the past, capturing the architecture and landscapes of the time. They serve as valuable historical documents, offering insights into how these cities have evolved over time.
