A Walking Library on Streets of London, 1930s | History Photographed Vol 1

► Hello everyone and welcome to History Scoop channel.
Photos of the day:
1. A portrait of an immigrant Ruthenian woman, at the processing center on Ellis island, New York City, 1906.
This photograph from 1906 shows a portrait of a Ruthenian woman, from a region now known as Hungary, at the immigration processing center on Ellis Island, New York City. The political instability and economic distress in Europe, in the 1800s, fuelled the largest mass human migration in history. Over the next 62 years, since January 1, 1892, more than 12 million immigrants from all over the world have arrived at Ellis Island, mostly from Europe in the first wave. Ellis Island officially closed in November 1954.
2. A walking library in London, c.1930s
Two pin-curled women have stopped in the street, one with a two-shelf bookcase filled with slanting spines of books and the other with a volume in her gloved hands, head bowed toward the open pages. When it comes to borrowing and reading books from libraries, critics claimed that English people were far behind those in other European countries at the time. So, like a walking library, this enterprising London girl tackles the problem by carrying her books in a rack tied to her back around the streets and from door to door. People could easily borrow books for a week for the low cost of two pence. What an ingenious idea!
3. One of the first treadmills advertised using models in LA, USA in 1928.
