Old photos from the Brooklyn Museum

Egypt, Abu Simbel
The Brooklyn Museum has some great photos on Flickr. Currently in the commons are a great set of old lantern slides in Egypt, and a lot of images from the 1900 Paris Exposition.

In the Paris set, it’s cool how the primitive coloring job kind of flattens the images. They look almost like paper cut-outs or watercolor:
