The clothing is so distinctive based on place of origin.

Excellent post, Kwon.

Urbanized/Hebrewnized/Dindunized photos then!

Yes, back in the day, each culture/origin had their distinctive outfits, not today! Not anymore!

I think Italians are my favorite immigrants. They embraced the U.S. and assimilated while also not forgetting their own culture. And they never imposed their native language on others. I grew up in South Florida and part of it like Hollywood was heaviliy Italian back in the day, even as far as having Italian festivals. Big difference between the same areas that are now heavily Carribean-Hispanic if you pass by them today $:-\$

Has to be fake. Colored tattoos were very rare back in the day.

Firstly, where did colour tattoos come from? The first tattoos ever produced were simply in black ink, as they were made from ash and soot being placed under the skin. The first colour tattoos didn’t actually come around until after the ancient Egyptians were tattooing.

The ancient Inuit people were believed to have colors in their tattoos, specifically including a dark yellow color. Other ancient cultures like ancient Rome were also said to have had colored ink at their disposal, based on the artefacts and trinkets that have been recovered from those time periods.

The colorization is just a guess on the photo colorist's part. Here's the original b/w -

They were colorized at a much later stage during the 2000s
