Cities Around the World in 1955

An exploration of the diversity of cultures by creating snapshots from the year 1955 in cities around the world. Can you pick out Havana and Honolulu? Or Cape Town, Jerusalem, Mexico City, Miami, Mumbai, Paris, and Tokyo? ? I was careful not to include specific landmarks—the focus is on people.

It’s incredible how each image really captures the era. With World War Two a recent memory and the Cold War hanging over the world—the individuals appear optimistic, but cautious.
