A brilliant computer engineer by profession, a fountain designer by fame, Nick DeWolf was a most prolific amateur photographer, capturing the 20th century existence through decades and continents. Lucky for us, a dedicated archivist from Seattle has been tirelessly digitizing his photographs. As DeWolf’s Flickr collection nears 50,000, let’s take another nostalgic little trip through 1975 New York City via reel #66. See anti-war and anti-pornography demonstrations in Times Square, Yakuza films playing on 42nd Street, teeming bookstores, adult magic shows, Central Park pigeon feeders, Chinatown children, and a few fabulously dressed ladies strolling though Midtown in our slideshow.

Scenes From the 1908 London Olympic Marathon

Scenes From the 1908 London Olympic Marathon

Cuban Grand Prix in Havana, 1957

Cuban Grand Prix in Havana, 1957

The Cuban Grand Prix was a sports car motor race held for a brief period in the late 1950s. The race is now defunct, having been held for the last time in 1960. The race is best remembered as the backdrop to the kidnapping of Formula One World Champion Juan Manuel Fangio by anti-government rebels linked to the 26th of July Movement.

The race was established in 1957 as the Batista Government envisioned creating an event to attract wealthy tourists, particularly from nearby United States. A street circuit was established on Malecon Avenue on the beachfront of Havana. The first race was a great success. The race was won by Fangio driving a Maserati 300S, leading home Carroll Shelby driving a Ferrari 410 and Alfonso de Portago in a Ferrari 860.

Building the Chelsea Bridge, 1936

Building the Chelsea Bridge, 1936

This is Chelsea Bridge, the first Chelsea Bridge. It was opened with some celebration in 1858. It looks a little like its younger cousin the still surviving but beleaguered bridge at Hammersmith, opened in 1887. Unlike Hammersmith less than a hundred years passed before a new Chelsea bridge was needed to cope with the demands of traffic both across and under the bridge.
