I think the photograph of the fountain in Washington Square Park was taken in 1852 because all the people were standing still looking at the camera until the cameraman signaled for them after a minute or more had passed. Otherwise none or a very few people would be looking forward towards the camera.

Ah yes... thankfully a crackpot conspiracy theorist arrives at just the right time, not a moment too soon or too late, with his nonsensical claptrap. Where would we be without the entertainment that such ignorant fools provide?! Lol 😂🤡
