These are amazing. It's incredible to think you could have had such quality a hundred years ago.The best pictures from the collection look like they were made in 2010 not 1910 and worst look 20 to 40 years old, it's still spectacular.
Now I wish all old photos could have looked like this.

its funny how you see people wearing the old clothes....you just expect a black and white image, like with the man stood on the boat.....I can "see" it in black and white but the colour is strangely unsettling....does that make sense?? Thanks for posting, great stuff. the composite images just look like colour channels in photoshop!
