npr: This is Cincinnati on Sunday, September 24th, 1848—162 years ago today. The picture, a daguerreotype taken by Charles Fontayne and William Porter, is so fantastically sharp you can step right onto the streets, onto the riverboats, peek through windows, explore rooftops as if you had slipped into the 1840’s with a pass key. Zoom in and take a look for yourself. We covered this a while back, too!
