Online Vintage Photographs of Russia and Eastern Europe

[Margaret Samu]

Dear Colleagues,

When I was in Petersburg recently, an article in the St. P Times alerted me
to a collection of photographs of Eastern Europe and Russia taken by Murray
Howe in 1909, posted by Howe's great-grandson Andrew Howe on his Flickr
account. They are snapshots of daily life taken with a handheld
camera--really wonderful images!

The St. Petersburg Times article:

..and the Flickr address with the photos:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/cranewoods/sets/
The relevant sets are all called "Vintage Photographs of...." You have to
click on the set to see whether it's Moscow, St. Petersburg, Berlin, and so
on.
Enjoy!--
