I love shit like this.  The colours, the fonts....

And in colour too.  It often brings it more to life.  Makes it feel less far away.

Here's a photo of my hometown in 1910.

Bischof. Just wonderful.

That to me is way more attractive and interesting than anything you'd see in the Louvre or the Rijksmuseum. Not that those exhibits aren't interesting in themselves, but there's not a lot to relate to.

I love this Don McCullin picture. I can't directly post it.

It's funny because in 30 years time when we look back there'll be photos of bleeding everything. The past will be much more available to us than any other generation.

Just out of curiosity I tried to post it, but in the process I found more in the series if you like that kind of thing

And they'll all look the same.

The OP reminds me of William Eggleston, who I love as well

On a kind of similar UK theme, although its in monochrome, I love Konttinen's series from Tyneside







Areas like this have suffered from artists thrusting a serious political message over everything. It's refreshing to see a bit of humanity reclaimed from the narratives whilst still depicting the reality.

This is a pretty cool site. You can click on lots of specific spots in San Francisco and see what they looked like way back when.

This is a photo of Wyatt Earp in one of my hometown's saloons. He's buried in nearby Colma.
