dudes about to fall over that hydrant
Everyones first thought at this picture 😂
Maybe staged for this purpose?
Wouldn’t a camera in those days need a long exposure to get such a sharp picture with them moving?
By '37? No, you had cameras that could take pretty sharp images in a (ha) snap. Even some expensive consumer cameras could get damn fine shots. Late 19th century is when you have the dying days of long exposure - except for color photography, which generally did require a little time spent stationary until like, the 50s or something.

No way that’s the classic ‘pretend you’re smoking or otherwise disinterested and subtly twist’ move implemented by planting a pivot foot and then stepping back to cautiously turn your body
TIL women have legs. 👍
Getting the right to vote, having legs… what mad innovation will tomorrow bring for the fairer sex??
Pants!? To protect their newfound legs for the cold Canadian winter!
I worry that’s a bridge too far?
Source?
See image above. Source is a bit outdated though, cannot confirm whether women still have legs or not these days.
What a time to be alive

I love that I know the game just by the tone of the dialogue option.
Yes Harry, it is an expression of pain.
Judging by the height of the center of that thing it’s gonna be shin followed by his twins
That’s a knee followed by deez.
I call it. Dude in front is 100% staged. He’s not walking, he’s standing. For the camera.
But it’s still a great photo.
Thought the same thing
Could we get a NSFW tag on this? I just got fired.
At this time this may just have been considered porn, yes.
That explains the hands in pockets.
Must be Yonge Street. That’s where all the wickedness and… sinfulness… prowls. Oh dear… I do believe I am getting a case of the vapors… quick, do be a darling hand me my Holy Bible to clutch and feel the warmth and comfort of the word.
I, for one, am a fan of the wickedness that is Yonge St. I am only saddened that I was born too late to experience it when it was really seedy.
Seriously, if I had a time machine Yonge St in the 1970s would be one of the first stops - along with Bloor St W and Huron St.
That is gonna hurt so bad…
Nice gams!
“They had legs that didn’t know when to stop and shorts that didn’t know when to start.”
Not demure. Not mindful.
Floozies!
Wait until you see Montreal strippers.
I love this! Thanks.
