Smoke control lantern slide collection [slide] : ca. 1940-1950.

The Smoke Control Lantern Slide Collection contains 119 images documenting the City of Pittsburgh in the 1940s and 1950s, before and after smoke control ordinances were passed regulating the burning of coal. Views from on and above street level around downtown Pittsburgh before the smoke ordinance portray the city ridden by filth. Several images include clocks that indicate late morning or early afternoon times, yet the billowing smoke and pollution leave the impression of dusk or even night. To demonstrate the effects of the smoke ordinance, the collection also includes images of railroad engines and parts powered both from steam and later from diesel.
