“Piazza Cavour” seen from about the same angle of “A Levantine Trader”, a picture taken around 1900, which we have already seen in a post on the book “In Tuscany” by Montgomery Carmichael.

This is so wonderful VP!
Amazing, VP!
It hasn't changed too much has it VP, different lamp post, bit of paint, amazing I love it.
I really like seeing modern views of places shown in old pictures. This looks much the same, just fresher.
Wonderful before and after.
No change, only the people and the lamp post. It gives a sense of perenity, of longevity. Nice!
Quasi uguale...l'uomo del '900 sembra un emiro. Ciao, Arianna
Always interesting to see these posts.
I love when you publish the two moments, same place there, it's so cool! :)

For some reason I prefer the older view.
Like this colorful composition.
Wonderful research to find and replacate this old picture. I always find before and after historical images fascinating.
The same buildings, same angle! Only the Levantine Trader would look out of place today in Livorno (but maybe not in Jerusalem). :)
Unbelievable how it's still the same! You must take very good care of your buildings! :D
A nice comparison. It seems nothing changed, only the people...
I really like these posts of yours. What a trader!
