Vintage photo’s are the theme of Shorpy.com and I have to tell you, if your a history buff, it doesn’t get better than this. You can literally sit for hours looking and studying the High resolution photo’s that date back to mid 1800’s and the Civil War through the great depression and into WWll. Almost all photo’s have a link at the bottom to view in full resolution. The photo on the left is from April 1865. Petersburg, Virginia. title: “Dead Federal soldier.” Wet plate glass negative, right half of stereo pair, by Thomas Roche. Library of Congress.
