lower image is credited to Curtis and Miller, but that's just copyright ownership. Asahel Curtis was still a teenager in 1889; later, as a professional photographer, he bought the rights to a lot of 19th-century Seattle photographs to supplement his own work, which began in the late 1890s.

Description
English:

Caption on image: Seattle, today and yesterday. Today: First and Second Ave. and the business district as seen from the top of the L. C. Smith Bldg., Seattle. Yesterday: The same district in 1889. Filed in: Seattle--Panoramas

  • Subjects (LCTGM): Panoramic views
  • Subjects (LCSH): First Avenue (Seattle, Wash.); Second Avenue (Seattle, Wash.); Waterfronts--Washington (State)--Seattle; Elliott Bay (Wash.); Ships--Washington (State)--Seattle; Central business districts--Washington (State)--Seattle; Queen Anne (Seattle, Wash.); Buildings--Washington (State)--Seattle; Seattle (Wash.)--Buildings, structures, etc.
A heavily annotated high-resolution version of photo that was the basis for the 1913 view can be found at File:2nd Ave, looking north from Cherry St, ca 1913 (SEATTLE 3080).jpg. This is a view from the top of the Smith Tower.
Despite the caption, the two pictures don't cover particularly similar areas. The picture at bottom corresponds more to the upper left part of the picture at top. Also, the ships in the top image have no basis in the underlying photo, they are simply drawn in.
