Very interesting and very well done photos. They look so fresh that those people could have been posing as if those pictures were taken not too long ago.
So, the Russian History Since 1917 which I was going to take until I transfered to Mythology (really wish I could have taken both!) had these photos on the ETSU-version of blackboard (Desire 2 Learn...). So, tip 'o the hat to awesome Amaranthians beating one of my temporary professors to the punch bowl!

Also, <3 the Big Picture.
edit: I just read about the process used to make the photos...pretty ingenious for the time.
edit 2: I like how you can see the different color layers in anything that moves much (like water in #14)
