[www.keralites.net] IGH QUALITY PICTURES

 

High Quality pics from a century ago

 

Some of these look like an Indian City of Today, except that replace the dresses and the cars Horse carriages. Rest is all same. Except of course the variety of dresses one finds on an Indian Road. Quality of pictures are really superb.

 

Note how sharp and clear most of the photos are and these are over 100 years old. There aren't many old photos as good, remember they didn't have film or digital photo cards those days. Most probable is that these were glass plate images and taken through a pinhole type camera and the opening was timed just right to get a dark enough exposure. Developing was another tedious task as they had to be careful not to break the glass!
