.A fantastic look at history. Each image superb. I could have commented on every one
John Glines25-Aug-2014 12:07
These photos come individually from the Internet and are in the public domain. I have given credit to the photographer wherever possible.
Tom Conelly24-Aug-2014 20:15
Sorry, I see some of the photos are credited but many are not. Are the original photographers unknown? Still would like to know what the source of the archive is -- somewhere we could see additional historic photos.
Tom Conelly24-Aug-2014 20:03
Very interesting photos and I am also impressed with the clarity of many of them. But I wonder why you do not credit the original photographers or at least indicate where these historic photos come from.
