"None but the sternest adherents of that code which puts bread and butter before 
cake will read this essay before looking at the photographs to which it is, 
nominally, the introduction.  Having seen those pages, the student of social 
history will not need, and others will hardly desire, more comment than is 
supplied beneath the pictures themselves."

full page.  Dates on the photos range from 1851 to 1951.
