Via Martelli da Piazza del Duomo alla fine dell'ottocento tutta colorata a mano ovviamente.
🌏In the late nineteenth century, Via Martelli, stretching from Piazza del Duomo, was adorned with vibrant hand-painted colors, giving it a charming and lively appearance.

We found this great image in a recent donation to the OGS Archives at the OGS Library in Bellville, OH. The image was taken in 1900 in Kent, Ohio.

You might be cool, but are you as cool as this kid photographed in Mansfield, Ohio in the late 1800s? From the Ohio Photograph Collection at the Ohio Genealogical Society. @histodons

Found this great early 20th century photograph of an Ohio high school baseball team in a collection being processed by the OGS Archives. I had to share it. @histodons

Dad sent a photo of his family to me this morning, and they take family photos so seriously back in the day...all dressed up and stuff!

Meanwhile, I don't even own a baju nyonya πŸ˜†

Great black and white photograph from 1950 of the corner of Dennison Avenue and King Avenue in Columbus, Ohio. This is part of the OGS's Ohio Photograph Collection housed at the OGS Library and Archive in Bellville, Ohio.

Our staff and volunteers are processing an Ohioan's photo album from the 20th century and there are great images, like this one taken from the Empire State Building in 1934, of the many places the owner visited. They seemed to have travelled a lot and took lots of pictures.

Currently working with photographs taken by ancestors in the 1940's, being careful not to 'over-spot' them, keeping most scratches in situ as it's part of their charm......

I love it when I see an image of working people making it into the historical record. These men worked at the Bucyrus Casting Company in Crawford County, Ohio. This is from the OGS Archive collection.

Found this really nice image of a WW1 veteran and his child from 1919 in the OGS Archives this morning and had to share it. What a great image!

Another great image from the OGS Archives: Ice harvesting in a quarry somewhere in Ohio (likely Huron or Richland County) in the early 1900s.

I always enjoy poking around the OGS archives and library work areas to see what's being processed. This is an image from a collection currently being evaluated. It includes a number of early 20th century images of Plymouth, Ohio.

Another I picked up in . Can't help but feel tremendous tenderness for these two young women. I hope they had good lives.

Any experts, please feel free to weigh in with a guess on a date for this clothing.

For I give you my dad, aged about four, in 1920. This was how he was dressed till he was six, when all his hair was cut off, and he was put into shorts and a sailor collar shirt. My grandmother, I’m told, wanted another girl, having already born five sons. One for @histodons I think!
