…and just couldn't get back to sleep so I kicked on the computer and found 870,000 old photographs of New York City.
Never-before-seen photos from 100 years ago tell vivid story of gritty New York City | Mail Online
Culled from the Municipal Archives collection of more than 2.2 million images going back to the mid-1800s, the 870,000 photographs feature all manner of city oversight -- from stately ports and bridges to grisly gangland killings.
The link above includes a handful of the pictures. The entire gallery is available here (see "Enter the Online Gallery" at the bottom of the page) but currently difficult to get to because of high traffic; we will absolutely post it to the Work Avoidance List as soon as we can actually verify the link.
