100 year old pics, amazing site

i am SO glad i found this gem today, i LOVE this stuff. perhaps someone here’s grandparents or great grandparents would love to see these, but i am def captivated by them myself. for some of the pix:“The clarity and quality of these photos are stunning. I’d expect it to be from a very expensive present day camera. All we ever see from this era is blur, grain, and black and white. It’s awkward looking at such quality but knowing it really was from that time period”

and some are the older type, this one taken in 1914, so cool to see this stuff

nice :tup:

I saw a site a while ago with TONS of pics from the civil war era and beyond. It was really neat actually… had pics of slave trading “businesses” and all that stuff.

I’ll see if I can’t find it for ya

VERY cool…great link:D

awesome, but what camera took these pictures so long ago, that they look so good?

wow, thanks for the site!!

those WW2 ones were takin from Kodachrome slides; 4x5 inch slides i believe

Even working off the original large format slides and negatives I can only imagine the hours invested in restoring these. Fantastic though.

very cool :tup:

Amazing. I really like that steel mill photo. If you are into steel mills and such check out this site. The pics are not old, but the subject matter is.
