I'm doing to dump a bunch of photos of 19th/early 20th century cities and towns in Asia/Africa before they were Westernized/Modernized.
Post other kinds of old photos if you want.

This is some weird slave-hunting tribe in Nias, off the coast of Sumatra. I'm not sure of the year.

Cool. I love how they still have the traditional houses instead of demolishing them like everywhere else.

By 1897 Japan was pretty heavily modernized, that street is I guess is just from a more 'traditional' part of the city. I'd assume it's a lot like what earlier 19th or 18th century places might have looked like.
Felice Beato's photos from the 1860s are probably the most 'authentic', since they mostly pe-date the Meiji period.
Hudson James

Kevin Flores

That's just about everything.

Central Asia was kind of shitty after the Silk Road lost importance. Those dried-brick structures tend to just fall apart if they aren't maintained properly.
Most of those buildings have been restored or rebuilt now.
