Title: Re: Photos from Russia taken 100 years ago Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Sunday, August 29, 2010, 12:15:02 Those are pretty amazing pictures to be fair. The quality is incredible. Russia and the surrounding Republics is an amazing place with an amazing history (which I don't know much about if I'm honest) I need to do something about that.

Title: Re: Photos from Russia taken 100 years ago Post by: suttonred on Sunday, August 29, 2010, 19:38:45 Good photo's. Others for consideration for those who like old photos, are Burton Holmes http://www.burtonholmes.org/ and Albert Khan http://www.albertkahn.co.uk/ both travelled exstensively in the late 1800's and early 20th century, well worth picking up the books, and also the DVD for Albert Khan.
