I wonder if this isn't a T-Ford ?

The original black and white photograph shows a Ford Model T that suffered a car accident in 1921 in Washington D.C.. The photographic enlargement shows that the destroyed front wheel and at least one rear wheel were fitted with rudimentary snow tires. The reflection on the sidewalk and the traces of snow visible in the flowerbed lead me to believe that the sidewalk and the road were covered by slippery slabs of ice. It is therefore very likely that the driver lost control of the car due to the extremely slippery road surface.
The original black and white photo was recently colorized by Sanna Dullaway

The Nine Sovereigns at Windsor for the funeral of King Edward VII, photographed on 20 May 1910.

In May 1910, European royalty gathered in London for the funeral of King Edward VII. Among the mourners were nine reigning kings, who were photographed together in what very well may be the only photograph of nine reigning kings ever taken. Of the nine sovereigns pictured, four would be deposed and one assassinated. Within five years, Britain and Belgium would be at war with Germany and Bulgaria. Only five of the nine monarchies represented in the photo still exist today.
