Good there was no COVID 19 in those days. What a crowd. Not much social distancing. People are on top of each other.

No, but Spanish Flu became a thing just 9 years after this. Lots of parallels between then and now, and how cities like Philadelphia didn't listen to social distancing guidance and got slammed, and others like St. Louis heeded the warning and got spared as hard of a hit.

Since it's almost a 360 degree panorama, it would be cool (But wildly impractical) to frame it in a ring with a gap in the side to look through.

It might work by printing the scans and taping the printouts together. Could be fun.
