DC views deck v DC now

[Chuqii]

Was in DC a few weeks ago, and I thought it would be fun to compare some of the views from my 1910 Bosselman "Washington Views" deck.  Below are some of the comparisons.  Note particularly that the cards switched the north and east views from the Washington Monument.  Actual east is labeled north and actual north is labeled east (unless they switched the White House and the Capitol after 1910 and I just didn't hear about it).

Very cool, I love comparison shots like that, thanks for sharing!

Have you seen this website?  It has some nice overlay options for old photographs over Google street view.  The only problem is many of the images were placed from older street view images so some of the really seamless overlays now are off.  Still, it's a neat tool. http://www.whatwasthere.com/

Haven't seen that website. I'll have to check it out. Thanks.
