Fun. So cool to look at the hi res versions. Love the beach shots. Thanks for the link.

Thanks for sharing, I have always loved history and these pix are are a great view back..

That link has been posted before. It's very cool. Some/most of those photos can be viewed in their hi-res mode which means you can really zoom in on stuff and see detail. Some of the architecture and small details are really amazing. It's like going back in history.

Yep. High res, but small, sq. inch wise. Here's specs on the full pic and a zoom on the car's steering wheel:

Thanks for post this - it's a very cool site! Many of the photos are "large format" 8x10" glass plate negatives which is why the detail is so good.
