I find it hard to make a strong connection between the pairs of images. The population density was different, I don&#x27;t know the time of day or day of week, and can think of other factors which help explain the differences.<p>&quot;Watch pedestrians casually mingle with horse-drawn buggies, street cars, and slow-moving early automobiles&quot;<p>I&#x27;ve also seen modern scenes of people casually mingling with slow-moving modern automobiles.<p>Then there&#x27;s Pierre Curie, co-discoverer of radium, who in 1906 slipped, fell under a heavy horse-drawn cart, and died.

If you haven&#x27;t seen it yet, check out the video at the bottom, too. It was shot days before the San Francisco of 1906.
