More about this scene
Today, we feel that when Louis de Soissions designed the layout of the Garden City, he underestimated the impact of the motor car. However, it would appear from this photograph that he was correct in his predictions. Not a car or van spoils the gossiping ladies' view of the Parkway and the fountain. Ten years later it would be a different story, and special parking provisions would have to be made to accommodate the huge amount of road traffic.
