Америка 100 лет назад в панорамах.
Помните, мы уже смотрели разнообразные фото СТАРОЙ АМЕРИКИ недавно. А теперь представляю вам панорамы городов Америки 1850-1910 годов.
Обратите внимание на изумительное качество снимков. ВСЕ СНИМКИ КЛИКАБЕЛЬНЫ до огромного размера. Очень интересно разглядывать детали повседневной жизни на таких снимках.
На всякий случай комментарий к снимкам привожу на английском, т.к. боюсь что переведу не качественно и искажу смысл.
