Cities Around the World in 1870

Yet another trip back in time.

In this exploration of #AI Artificial Intelligence image generation, we are taken back to cities around the world in the year 1870—along with some styling prompts that are appropriate for the photographic technology of era.

Some of the locations are the same as the 1955 project.

With the fashion very similar throughout much of the Western world, I found it much more difficult to differentiate the regions than in the previous project. Also, climate seemed to have little bearing on the style of dress—everyone appears to have been much more formal back in the day.
