These are some pretty good pictures. Thanks OP.
I always found these photos fascinating. We're looking at a really distant past it's almost scary.

Something nostalgic about really old photos. Love them.

That was the first photograph ever taken. From a window I think.

It was all about looking as crazy and fearsome as possible. And of course it was a secret society as well, so it has that esoteric element to it.
>>7996
For some reason I remember that being a still from a zombie movie, but I have no idea. Reverse image search isn't giving anything.

Fun fact: this picture took several hours of exposure, there are various people walking that street but not long enough to leave a mark except for the shoe shine boy and his client.

This picture makes me sad for some reason.

Jonathan Youmans
Born Oct 21 1771 in Germany, Died Sept 20 1861.
>>10836
Yes, I know that, anon. I've seen conflicting data though in other family trees and that contradict that though, namely birthplace and date of death. I've seen 1865 listed before.
What a great day. I love this new board and this is a great thread too.
>>10898
I'm not going off of family trees, that's his grave stone. Grave stones are normally accurate on death dates. 1865 is a mis-transcriped error on the findagrave.
His birth place is listed in the 1860 census as Germany.

Honestly, whenever I see pictures of Lincoln I have a hard time believing he's a real person. Even in real life he looks like a caricature of himself it's weird.

where did his front leg go? maybe that was why he was picked to get blown up

that was a Confederate camp. Problem was that the Confederates were already running low on supplies at the time, so they had little for the soldiers, let alone prisoners.

You can download it.
You don't even have to ask.
If anybody is interested, I have unique pictures that are not published anywhere.
The quality is shit because I took them from our national library and I had to work on them for my thesis in History.
This one was taken by a French traveler in Arizona, in the Mojave desert, in 1880.

There's something quite remarkable about old photographs, I find. Paintings are good but they don't really show the reality. Photos are a window into exactly how things were.

Jesus.
Got any more 19th century ridiculous constructions?
Pic related, the SS Great Eastern by BASED Brunel.
>The SS Great Eastern was an iron sailing steam ship designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, and built by J. Scott Russell & Co. at Millwall on the River Thames, London. She was by far the largest ship ever built at the time of her 1858 launch, and had the capacity to carry 4,000 passengers from England to Australia without refuelling.
>Turbinia was the first steam turbine-powered steamship. Built as an experimental vessel in 1894, and easily the fastest ship in the world at that time, Turbinia was demonstrated dramatically at the Spithead Navy Review in 1897 and set the standard for the next generation of steamships, the majority of which were turbine powered.
>Parsons' ship turned up unannounced[4] at the Navy Review for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee at Spithead, on 26 June 1897, in front of the Prince of Wales, Lords of the Admiralty and foreign dignitaries. As an audacious publicity stunt, Turbinia, which was much faster than any ship at the time, raced between the two lines of navy ships and steamed up and down in front of the crowd and princes, while easily evading a Navy picket boat that tried to pursue her, indeed, almost swamping it with her wake.
The North East of England really did invent some great stuff back then. Shame it's shit these days.
Farers in the south west of France, they used those wood post to not struggle in the mud since all their land was some sort of massive swamp.
Those swamps got dried out later in the 19th

Image 2/2, And his son my great great great (give or take) grandfather WIlliam Wentworth, who mapped the blue mountains and became a politician or some shit, I only know this because my pop takes pride in being part of a bastard bloodline that can trace back to nobles
>>37463
I don't know for sure, but I agree that the answer is probably no. Considering the amount of time necessary for exposure it seems unlikely.
