Bread on a horse cart, an airport hall and a swing carousel

The Wednesday, November 4, 2026 puzzle: five photos from history. Guess the year each was taken, on a timeline from 1900 to 2026.

  1. A market vendor sells bread and bananas from a horse cart as winter-coated shoppers gather in an open square
  2. Dozens of passengers wait on benches and stand with luggage in a large airport departure hall under a low ceiling
  3. A crowd with bicycles gathers around a big chain-swing carousel at a fair on a city square.
  4. A bus squeezes through a narrow whitewashed lane between old buildings while a woman and children step aside
  5. A long line of people waits on a station platform beneath an iron-and-glass roof, with railway tracks in the foreground
