Special thanks to Marsanne Petty, who just sent me a bunch of links to some pretty darned snuzzy stuff. One site that she recommended is called “Shorpy: The 100-Year-Old Photo Blog.” Here are a few shots from this amazing site:

“Best Easter Wishes.” Chick pulling flowers in small wagon.
Rotograph Company of New York, 1908.

May 1936. “Farmer of Franklin County, Kansas.” Medium format nitrate negative by Arthur Rothstein for the Farm Security Administration.

Officer Snodgrass of the White House police force holds a captured opossum that strayed onto White House grounds, May 6, 1929.
From the National Photo Company collection.
That opossum there is super scary, actually. Yikes!
It’s definitely worth checking out the full size images of the shots above, and that can be done here, here and here.







Oldies, but very goodies!
