A Sea of Hats: 1915

JF Ptak Science Books LLC  Post 364

Hatsdetail Another extraordinary image of pressed-together humans, of a human sea, a carpet of hatted men.  And believe me, every person in this image of (I’d say) approximately 5000 men has got a hat on.  There are hundreds of folks in the photo who re aware of the photographer and who are looking right at the camera, but there is only *one* person who is lifting his hat to the photographer. 

I don’t have much to say, and I have nothing to connect the photo to (know); I just wanted to surface it before I lost it again….
