Automobiles on exhibit, 1900 New York Auto Show
View of cars on exhibit during the 1900 New York Auto Show held at Madison Square Garden in New York. Stamped on back: "N. Lazarnick, commercial photographers, makers of industrial motion pictures, 1440 B'way (at 40th St.), N.Y., Tel. Chickering 1717. 5005 Euclid Ave., Cleve., Randolph 7852." Typed on back: "View of the first auto show held in 1900 in the old Madison Square Garden, New York City. The exhibits were few and the public was skeptical about the cars running under their own power so to prove that they could run, a track was built around the exhibits on the main floor, and on this the machines were demonstrated. A "hill" was built on the roof of the garden to test the climbing abilities of the cars." Handwritten on back: "Shows--New York, 1900."
