I for one am very thankful! That's a neat site you linked to.
I love looking at old photos of people. There are the ones that seem so far removed from our time b/c of hairstyle or dress, and then there are the ones that are just timeless. Like the one you had in your post. He has such a 'modern' expression on his face! I also like the one of Sakamoto Ryoma sitting on a bench for the same reason.
The pic of Nakaoka Shintaro is quite shocking! He's smiling!!  |

You might also be interested in these pics. These are some scans from books that were for sale on Ebay. I didn't buy them, but I did save all his preview scans

| Great sites! I've glanced at both, but I can see I will have to peruse them later when I have more time. Thanks! |

No, really. What on earth are these guys, especially that one sitting in the middle, thinking about? And look at that guy behind him, with a hand on his shoulder. There is a story there...
So, reply and give your caption for this photo! Cookies for the best one! (plus it's a great excuse to add to your posts and get closer to your own avatar!) |

The first site made my day, thanks!
Old photos are really fascinating.
Btw, the 3rd link doesn't work now. Is the site down? |
