Now i am dumping some actual coloured photoes from the start of the 19th century from russia.

ook back in time with this extraordinary collection of color photographs taken between 1909 and 1912. In those years, photographer Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (1863-1944) undertook a photographic survey of the Russian Empire with the support of Tsar Nicholas II. He used a specialized camera to capture three black and white images in fairly quick succession, using red, green and blue filters, allowing them to later be recombined and projected with filtered lanterns to show near true color images. The high quality of the images, combined with the bright colors, make it difficult for viewers to believe that they are looking 100 years back in time - when these photographs were taken, neither the Russian Revolution nor World War I had yet begun. Collected here are a few of the hundreds of color images made available by the Library of Congress, which purchased the original glass plates back in 1948. (34 photos total)

That pic isn't that old though, looks like it's from the 30/40s

Self-portrait on the Karolitskhali River, ca. 1910. Prokudin-Gorskii in suit and hat, seated on rock beside the Karolitskhali River, in the Caucasus Mountains near the seaport of Batumi on the eastern coast of the Black Sea.

Does it count if I post pics that are ALMOST 100 years old?
I have some interesting ones from the Irish civil war

Pic related is a fight during the Franco Prussian war

Molding of an artistic casting (Kasli Iron Works), 1910. From the album "Views in the Ural Mountains, survey of industrial area, Russian Empire"

We were a small country with a small population, our sudden wealth is because of the many innovations swedes made, as well as being one of the few to have an intact industry after ww2 since our politicians played both sides very well

The vastness of the natural landscape is impressive. So much of it has been lost in the last century, it's shameful

Because of the clothing and haircuts

The last indigenous people of Tierra del Fuego

Rural policeman in 1880

Interesting. Thank you.

When you think of repeaters and men on horseback you generally think of North America

Ireland

...

Is that a repeater anyways? Doesn't look like one

On closer inspection, you're right. It does look like the kind of weapon you'd expect to see used by settlers out on a frontier however

Anyways, repeaters were used to kill Patagonian natives. Here in the pic you can see some settlers killing Onas(Selknam people) in Tierra del Fuego

That truthbomb along the way

This is a tinted photograph of the Flatiron Building in New York, done by Edward J. Steichen in 1909.

Sydney's famous Bondi Beach in the early 1900's

If anyone has any questions on early Australia I can answer them. I have a degree in it.

Sydney's Queen Victoria Building which was a market in its early stages but became abandoned until the late 20th Century. Now home to Sydney's high class shopping.

Coogee Beach, a personal favourite of mine actually.

Carlingford Suburb in the early 1900's. Most of Sydney's suburbs were barely connected to each other and function more as towns. Probably why in Sydney there was such a strong emphasis placed on municipality government despite the fact that they were all overlapping.

Central Station in Sydney. Trams were all removed in the 60's and 70's but the NSW Government is in the process of building a new one through the main street you see here.

Terraces in inner city. A lot of these were slums in the time and very crowded, rife with disease. Now the go for about $2,000,000

Busy King Street in the city. Workers moving between streets.

Aboriginies in Port Macquarie.

Aborigines in a Christian mission in rural New South Wales.

This is amazing photgraphy, art

American soldiers of the 6th Infantry Regiment posing with troops of Venustiano Carranza's government in San Antonio, Chihuahua. April 1916, during the abortive attempt to capture Pancho Villa.

>I think from the Finnish civil war
It is.

That's from the first Sino-Japanese War.

Antti Isotalo & Antti Rannanjärv, two Finnish "puukkojunkkari" (knife fighters) who led a criminal gang from 1856 to 1867.

It's a bit late but thanks user

Vienna ca. 1900
the new buildings as a manifestation of a new era. The old small buildings in the lower half beginn to vanish more and more

Not exactly 100 years though

Vienna ca.1905

Switzerland during WWI

You miss a important part of the picture
