Philadelphia in Motion
A Nostalgic View of How Philadelphians Traveled, 1902-1940
published by Bryn Mawr Press, Inc.
This book celebrates 38 years of Philadelphia's transportation history to provide a nostalgic glimpse of bygone days of travel, from horse-drawn taxis to airplanes. The 125 photographs show a city which has disappeared, a city that has changed and grown and changed again. The old city and the life represented by these photographs have gone forever, replaced by impersonal skyscrapers and a glut of automobiles.
