Harlem, NYC, 1938, according to my search.

That little girl’s dress and shoes look very modern. I like the sleeves.

I’m not going to call time travel, though, like I found people doing with that haircut in the banana dock photo… I’m going to say it shows that they had some modern looking styles in 1938.

“Sneakers” have been around since the mid 1800s.

They look a lot like Victorian ‘Deck Shoes’, which are the same sort of thing, and been around a long time.

Watercolor would seem to be an appropriate medium.

I’m thinking oils, only because of the control of the fine lines. Hard to do with watercolor. But I cannot be certain of that.

Ghosts! Left center is a man in black walking towards us; there is a reflection/shadow by his right leg that morphs into a ghostly man in uniform, with hands in pockets. Under the horse are two ghostly women in long cloaks and kerchief covered heads.

This was done by Italian watercolorist Maximo Damico, who explains his technique on his web site:

A good working definition of “bat shirt crazy.” Note the absence of even a single helmet.

😵‍💫 Doing that, I would leave an indelible mark as well, all right, but on my fragile body 😁

You do have to admire the casual use… or mis-use… of the term “slopes”.

No way that surface is doing any sloping.
Unless 90% is a slope.

However, “moment” would appear to be quite correctly used.

There would indeed be but one moment to his descent, traveling at the speed of gravity.

How is there still a skating community? I guess it relies on turnover.

This is ..
Wendell Wilkie
… the Republican candidate in the 1940 US presidential campaign, in what I remember …. from history, from history, not personal participation!!… as a very confusing election.

He was a Democrat who switched to Republican because the presidential slot on the Democratic ticket was full. The parties were much closer together at that time.

Unfortunately for him, his opponent was the instoppable Franklin D. Roosevelt, running for his third term.

Their politics were very similar, except Republicans were mostly against the New Deal…. plus

this guy
Wilkie
wanted the US to help the Allies in WWII, even if it meant joining them in the fight..

Roosevelt won, on a promise to keep us out of the war… so of course, within a year, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and… boom… the idea of isolationism flew out the window.

Of course you can see them…. Whether or not they have hats, they’re not invisible.

But yes, i did find the three without hats… they look like nice piggies, quite similar to their be-hatted compatriots.

It makes me think that instead of wondering about their visibility, maybe we should be asking about the fairness of a pig society that fails to give every pig the hat it deserves.

At first I thought that was a book, but it looks more like a package of Fig Newtons.

He’s instantly recognizable…

The book was a little more difficult…😁

I’m sure it says “Twilight Of The Gods” … but that title has been used for many things.

I can’t quite make out the author… I kind of expected it to be Thomas Bullfinch, but it looks like the first name begins with W, and I couldn’t match that up with any suggestions from Google or Wikipedia.
