Is this the longest a post has ever gone without a comment?

Nice stuff though.

Great find dhuva; I especially like this as compared to 1951 or present.

Cool! Nice collection. If you like these, then you should check out the Griffith Institute's amazing archive. They have one of the largest collections of 19th century photographs of Egypt and all the photographs from the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb, amongst other exciting things.
