This is the baby cage photographed from the outside. It definitely looks dangerous, but they were on the market in both the US and England in the 1930’s.

Could you imagine the crap that would happen if this was done today? Life was so much simpler back then.

Whew.... I am glad DMC axed..... I wondered the very same thing when I first saw the post. When I first looked at the photo I instinctually deduced this was several floors up. Don't know why. There sure isn't anything that leads me to that.
A baby isn't likely to slip through those bars, but one of those skinny kitties just might!
Ive lived in several 2-4 floor apartments with balconies rails that a kitty could slip thru and jump if they were so inclined. Luckily there's never been an incident. I like to think their little brains working like in a machine/matrix kind of way when calculating the distance of the bird chirpng away on a nearby branch, versus the distance below if they were to not land where & how intended. Their drive of self preservation is extremely strong.A baby isn't likely to slip through those bars, but one of those skinny kitties just might!
Just because a few throughout history had to be rescued by firepeople from a tree they climbed, doesn't still give them plenty of smarts cred in my book
Just from the position of the camera - unless there was a drone used. It’s too high to be taken from a floor below and too low to be taken from the same floor. Also, the bars look like they’re there to prevent break-ins. You wouldn’t necessarily need them on anything above the ground floor.
So there.
Elementary, my dear Watson
I propose you this scenario: the photo may have been taken from a building across the street, and I have even lived in a building in Los Angeles where the window security bars have included the 2nd floor.
(I thought you might have known something in the building code that we didn't about some required height of whatever metal unit that is protruding out on the right side of the balcony.)

I will concede this bit of photographic evidence, as well... the picture appears to be taken up closer with a wide angle lens (as the straight line distortion displays), than would be producedfrom a telephoto lens, shooting holes in the 'shot from across the street' theory.
Funny how we were all worried about the cats. Not a word about the babies in cages....
Too true!Funny how we were all worried about the cats. Not a word about the babies in cages....
That because it’s on the ground floor, I tell ya. It is merely another means of egress to them what can fit thu the bars.Funny how we were all worried about the cats. Not a word about the babies in cages....
Apparently you can still buy these new.
