Tourist photos from pre-Revolutionary Moscow
Bryn sez, "My cousin recently put some previously unpublished photos of his great grandfather's trip to Moscow in 1909 on Flickr and folks in Moscow found them and they went viral. The Moscow Times just did an article on them: 'His photographs of pedestrians, street venders and aristocrats are rare glimpses of everyday life before the upheavals of World War I and the Bolshevik Revolution -- and sparked huge interest in Russia among history buffs and local museums. The photographs re-emerged a few months ago when Howe's great-grandson, Andrew Howe V of Atlantic Beach, Florida, posted about 75 of them on his Flickr account.'"
