Salt Lake City, 1909[edit]
I've been going through the Harry Schipler photos at the Utah History Research Center, and there's some amazing stuff, but nothing as mind-boggling as this. Those hats! That house! Not how I picture staid, turn-of the century Mormons. The car is a 1909 Thomas Flyer, btw.

- Too small. The cut-off for FPC is at least 1000px on at least one side (and this is a minimum). For a scene like this the standard is generally higher. Mostlyharmless (talk) 02:50, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
- Reluctantly agree: Excellent image, but the scan is just too low of resolution. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 02:53, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
- Well, darn. [Looks at list] Yeah, most of the scans at this archive are pretty lo-res, dammit. Pity, since they're mostly 4x5 or 8x10 glass-plate negs.... Good photographer, too. Pete Tillman (talk) 14:57, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
- Just curious - how do you know they're Mormons? --jjron (talk) 08:34, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
- Very belated reply: I don't, really, but there weren't many non-LDS folk in SLC back then. Cheers, Pete Tillman (talk) 06:51, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
