1900 | Scranton, Pennsylvania. "Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western Railroad yards"

Как-то давно для одного проекта я искал старые фото и практически совершенно случайно натолкнулся на сайт www.shorpy.com, где расположена огромная подборка фотографий Америки, в том числе и начала прошлого века. Очень много снимков на больших пластинах (8 х 10 дюймов чуть ли не самый ходовой размер там), на удивление с высокой детализацией и проработкой.

Снимки 1870-1920 годов очень интересно разглядывать, потому что, на мой взгляд, это совершенно не наша эпоха. Даже тридцатые годы - и те намного ближе к нам идеологически, чем этот отрезок. Как на машине будущего прокатился, честное слово. Или на другой планете побывал. Снимки очень разные, от событийных до бытовых, из разных мест, намешано всё в кучу, только хронологию я сохранил. Дух времени они передают отлично, по-моему. Впрочем, сами смотрите.

Под катом 100 больших фотографий (1200 пикселей по длинной стороне), так что кому-то может и будет неудобно смотреть. Но я считаю, что такие снимки смотреть в маленьком размере довольно бессмысленно. Вообще они на сайте имеют около 3.000-4.000 по длинной стороне, так что я тут их даже уменьшал. В полном размере вы их можете увидеть на www.shorpy.com, если будет такое желание.
