| glad you all enjoyed them - the one with the man with the cart outside the house makes me think of 'The Young Ones' and the house they had. |

no, they are original colour pictures - I think they're to do with Albert Kahn and his mission to record life around the time. If you check in Ash's documentaries thread you'll hopefully still be able to get 'The Edwardians in Colour' which featured a lot of similar stuff.

GREAT PICTURES
I have the entire series in almost pristine quality. But to see the images without any cut and in such high resolution is just amazing. Face, if you have more then please up them. Thanks for these 
ps: also get the 20's in Colour- those are the last 4 episodes. Edwardians in Colour are the 1st 5 episodes. All 9 together aired under the title The Wonderful World of Albert Kahn. |
