These pictures are part of a huge collection assembled by the banker Albert Kahn: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Kahn_(banker) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Kahn_(banker) Other pictures (about 1200) from the Albert Kahn collection, from other parts of the world: http://albert-kahn.hauts-de-seine.net/archives-de-la-planete/mappemonde/ http://albert-kahn.hauts-de-seine.net/archives-de-la-planete... There are some wonderful pictures in that collection. My preferred are the ones with people living in a way that doesn't exist anymore like the ones from the Ottoman Empire (Turkey), Ireland, Benin and South East Asia.
