This is a photo by the famous photographer Lewis Wickes Hines, taken of Boston Market in 1909. This is one of the more fascinating old photos of Boston, being able to see intricate details of the people in the photo. Really makes you wonder who these folks were, and what happened to them. Maybe that boy looking at the camera was your grandfather?
