8 photos that show how cars seized city streets from pedestrians

I find it hard to make a strong connection between the pairs of images. The population density was different, I don't know the time of day or day of week, and can think of other factors which help explain the differences.

"Watch pedestrians casually mingle with horse-drawn buggies, street cars, and slow-moving early automobiles"

I've also seen modern scenes of people casually mingling with slow-moving modern automobiles.

Then there's Pierre Curie, co-discoverer of radium, who in 1906 slipped, fell under a heavy horse-drawn cart, and died.

If you haven't seen it yet, check out the video at the bottom, too. It was shot days before the San Francisco of 1906.
