Buenos Aires View of Section of the City

Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "Its population of 1,674,000 makes it almost as large as Philadelphia, with a change of exceeding it in time. in other ways it compares with Chicago, for it is conspicuously modern, its present development having been begun and achieved within the last quarter of a century, although the city itself is nearly four hundred years old, and is the industrial complement of an agricultural and pastoral activity even great than that of our Middle West. Indeed, its banks and clearing houses are said to transact quite as much business as those of Chicago."
