Children playing next to dead horse, Chicago, 1893.

What I love about this picture is that the dead horse is so shocking, you barely notice that they are also playing in an open sewer.

Historical Image of the Day

 

Man sitting on dead horse, 1870s. Theories on the internet is that this guy is sitting  on the horse because of a law saying that you had to stay with your animal until law enforcement came. Possible, though I'm a bit skeptical. This certainly seems like a small town so maybe, but in the city such a law would have been unenforceable.
