Those people remind me of where this nation is right now, about to be overtaken by communists.

Dang. That is some incredible photography. I've never seen photos almost 100 years look that clear and colorful. The pictures I take now don't look that good.

That old man in #17 standing on the guy’s shoulders is quite impressive.

Thanks so much for posting this: it's beautiful!

Photography is 90% light & composition. In addition to getting both of those nailed down, Produkin-Gorskii threw in another 50% with technical accomplishment that would be good today, and amazing for the time.

Death to the Bayer Filter! (Photography nerd inside joke....)

thanks so much for putting those up. I find it real fascinating to view early color prints of just about anything. those were as clear and sharp as could be.
