Take a moment and peruse the images?  What connections do you make? What do you see?
Want to confirm what you think?   Each link under the image will take you to source information about the image.  The colored image is a picture of a street in New York 1900. The name of the street is also the name of a street in Springfield, Massachusetts - his hometown.  I  wonder which one was his inspiration?

Teaching with Primary Sources always makes me think of Paul Harvey's line, "And now you know the rest of the story."
