Lady walking the streets of Munich, Germany 1910

Scanned from a glass plate negative, this photograph shows a street scene in Munich, Germany, circa 1910. The image captures the grandeur of late 19th-century architecture, with imposing stone facades and richly ornamented buildings lining the cobblestoned square.

 In the foreground, a woman dressed in Edwardian era attire, complete with a long dark coat and wide brimmed hat, steps into the frame, her figure casting a distinct shadow across the patterned pavement. Other passersby in dark coats and dresses move through the open space, hinting at the rhythm of urban life in Munich at the dawn of the 20th century. The photograph preserves both the elegance of the city’s architecture and the quiet dignity of its everyday citizens.
