old photos or: those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it (bring back the corset!)

from Goligorsky's excellent design blog Perpenduum:

He points to oldpicture.com, a themed collection of photos covering many topics. Some of the diverse themes include lots of Civil War collections, portraits of Bedouins, beautiful castles, Eqyptian stateman and various Native American tribes. A wonderful collection.
