Paseo Colon, Buenos Aires

 

Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "On leaving the docks and driving up into the city, the visitor is at once impressed with the fact that Buenoes Aires is not so wholly wrapped up in the purely material as is our commercial center on Lack Michigan. It has broadened along more aesthetic lines and is cultivating the graces, not alone the sordid features, of cosmopolitanism. In the newer parts, the buildings and shaded boulevards and beautifully landscaped parks resemble rather those of Paris; although it is not behind our own big cites in public utilities."
