Good Morning

In The Joy Of Others...Lies Our Own... 

Note how sharp and clear most of the photos are and these are over 100 years old. There aren't many old photos as good, remember they didn't have film or digital photo cards those days. Most probable is that these were glass plate images and taken through a pin hole type camera and the opening was timed just right to get a dark enough exposure. Developing was another tedious task as they had to be careful not to break the glass!
