Las Vegas, Nevada, 1895 (vintage photo from United States)

 


Unfortunately, there aren't any actual photographs of Las Vegas from 1895. Photography was still a relatively new and expensive technology at the time, and the area was very sparsely populated. Las Vegas itself wasn't even incorporated as a city until 1905.

However, there are a few historical images and artworks that depict what Las Vegas may have looked like in 1895. These images typically show a small desert settlement with a few scattered buildings, such as a general store, a saloon, and a blacksmith shop. Las Vegas Creek, which was a vital water source for travelers on the Old Spanish Trail, is also often featured in these depictions.

One such image is a colorized photo from 1895 that shows a settler and his dog standing beside Las Vegas Creek. This image, while not a real photograph, gives us a sense of the rugged and isolated nature of the area at the time.

While there may not be any real photos of Las Vegas from 1895, these historical images and artworks help us to imagine what this now-famous city looked like in its early days.

New York, 1977: temporary (now lost) beach in World Trade Center area (Twin Towers). Vintage photos

    There was a temporary beach created near the Twin Towers in New York City in the summer of 1977 . This artificial beach was set up in Battery Park City , an area on the west side of Lower Manhattan . The beach was part of a promotion by the City of New York and included sand, beach chairs, and umbrellas to create a seaside atmosphere in the urban environment.     This unique urban beach was part of the efforts to revitalize Lower Manhattan and attract people to the area, especially during the summer months. The project included events and activities to encourage New Yorkers and tourists to enjoy the waterfront. Vintage photos:         #newyork #vintagephotos

Parapuzosia seppenradensis, giant ammonite discovered in 1895

  The largest known specimen of ammonite, Parapuzosia seppenradensis (Cretaceous, 80 Ma), measures 1.74 m and was discovered in 1895 in a quarry close to Lüdinghausen-Seppenrade .   In the photograph, it figures with the zoologist who described it, Hermann Landois, who reconstructed its missing chamber with wire and paper. Landois assumed that the chamber constituted a quarter of the outer whorl, estimating it measured 2.55 m, but Teichert and Kummel (1960) estimated it would have ¾ of a whorl, with an original diameter of around 3.5 m.   It is exhibited in the lobby of the LWL Natural History Museum in Münster (Germany). There are copies at the Georg Agricola Technical University (THGA) in Bochum; in Seppenrade, Germany; at the Museum of Paleontology at the University of California, Berkeley; in La Plata; and in other museums around the world. Another ammonite of the genus Parapuzosia is in the National Museum of Natural History in Sofia, Bulgaria, with...
