Illustration: Vintage Stockholm
Images of Stockholm
or rather details of images found at the Institut Cartogràfic de Catalunya site. It is possible to register and download the full size images but I thought it would be pretty interesting to see what I could capture without doing so. So this is the result.
The site was found via BibliOdyssey

Vintage Photos: Gas & Bear
Two very interesting photos
posted by tpoe4nuk to LiveJournal - Vintage Photographs
The uploader about the first one: "Gas Attack Rehearsal in USSR, near Leningrad 1937, photographer - Victor Bulla".
About the second: "Don't know if this photo is original or fake... just came across it..."
My own reflection: The bear = Russia?
