One of my latest efforts 😏 I got the idea from a friend Gabe who made a map of Russian Empire stuff from the An-Sky expedition, so playing around with Felt (a new mapping site someone on here suggested) I came up with this map of the birthplaces of American klezmer recording artists of the golden age and what place names they used in their recordings.

Together they had 8 children (2 boys, 6 girls). They lived in what was then the (later Governorate) in Congress about 80 miles (130 km) northwest of . Józef died in 1848.

I love pre-1918 postcards. Especially when I find more of them from/to the same people.
It's like preserving some fracture of their lives.

@histodons a few cool pictures I found trolling the Wikipedia entry for the Battle of Port Arthur
(The Battle of Port Arthur was the opening engagement of the Russo-Japanese War. Basically Japan was worried that Russia threatened its influence in the Far East. Late night in Feb of 1904 a Japanese fleet snuck up on the Russian fleet anchored at Port Arthur -a port leased to Russia by China- and engaged them in naval combat. The Russian Navy succefully drove Japan off the battlefield, although Russia sustained heavy causalities)

also tagging @worldwarshistory since this conflict was a precursor to WWI.
