Expertly colorized this original black and white photo depicts a scene that was commonplace in New York on the last day before the stock market crash on Tuesday the 2nd of October in 1929 which was to be remembered as Black-Tuesday, not only because of the financial ruin many investors instantly faced but also because of the many suicides and murders that ensued as a direct consequence.

Many don’t know that the crash started in September and then spiraled to collapse that 2nd of October.
what a sad but critical picture to remember.
That was the biggest downfall of rich people and those like that gentleman who thought of ways to get some money were the intelligent ones those who fell into complete despair jumped out of windows.
