Wow ..... Love these Pics

Those are nice for sure. It gives a different feel to the photos entirely.

Wow, I really love that. It just gives it a whole different vantage point I think.

Those were wonderful pics. thanks Face, you always put up the most interesting content. I thoroughly enjoyed them.

glad you all enjoyed them - the one with the man with the cart outside the house makes me think of 'The Young Ones' and the house they had.

How were these done? Was the colour added in afterwards? Pretty cool, whatever.

no, they are original colour pictures - I think they're to do with Albert Kahn and his mission to record life around the time. If you check in Ash's documentaries thread you'll hopefully still be able to get 'The Edwardians in Colour' which featured a lot of similar stuff.

That makes the photos even cooler. I'll look up Ash's thread. Thanks!

GREAT PICTURES

I have the entire series in almost pristine quality. But to see the images without any cut and in such high resolution is just amazing. Face, if you have more then please up them. Thanks for these

ps: also get the 20's in Colour- those are the last 4 episodes. Edwardians in Colour are the 1st 5 episodes. All 9 together aired under the title The Wonderful World of Albert Kahn.
