Question on picture on main page

[valvano]

I posted this on the main bulletin board with no response.

The pictures of the NYC skyline on the main page, are these part of a series taken over the years by a single photographer? Are there more to the series?

Thanks for any info you have!

Well, as the first picture is quite old and the next one isn't really new either, I hardly doubt that they are taken by a single photographer. I don't have any good ideas on how it was done though. Maybe they were put together from some archive with old photographs?

These are old images we got from Adam. I don't really know who made/took them. According to Yauch, one was taken in 1876 and the other in 1913.

Thanks for the info, I love photographs of the same views/items taken over time.
