What are all those little tubes (bottles?) on his robe?
They are tubes of measured gunpowder for muzzle loaders.
Edit: the tubes themselves are called gazyrs
Thank you.
Looks like they were used to hold bullets and premeasured powder. But they kind of just became a style.

Thanks for the link
Love the third picture down, with the lot cigarette waving around it Hopefully just a trend by then.
The quality you can get with film never ceases to amaze me. I think the Oppenheimer movie poster was shot on film then scanned digitally, and the final image is like 11k pixels wide. There was also a 1980’s music clip I saw the other day on YouTube that was labelled as remastered in 4k or something, and it looked great for a remaster. Turns out it was simply re-scanned with modern tools and since the original film was so crisp it was all that needed to be done. No AI enhancement bullshit and all that.
The band of brothers remaster was also rescanned film, it looks fantastic
Oh crap TIL gotta rewatch.
The ones that really grab my sight are not film but glass plates, the clarity of images that are 120 years old is unbelievable.
This photo sent me down a rabbit hole. I ended up learning about the conquest of the Cacusus and the genocide that occurred during it.
Link for the lazy?
I got banned from reddit by linking that turkish genocide… I admit it was in a Turkish sub… And I mentioned that turks in Europe get more kids as Europeans (which according to reddit is similar to genocide)
A man (27) and his wife (26), mother of 10
Looks like a mother and son
He looks like he’s about 12, she looks like she’s on the verge of 105. Interesting photo
He’s about to slay the cameraman.
Anyways great work.
The whole of the caucaus is so interesting. Just all those cultures jam packed into one spot. Only other place I know of like it is PNG.
JPEG is close
The Balkans are similarly diverse (despite efforts to murder everyone different since the age of the habsburgs).
The body language between them both, tho.
Why does that man look a lot like young Atatürk. So uncanny.

Kickass album cover.
One of his eyes ain’t lookin at me
That woman has some man hands.
What is that little tower thing in the background?
It’s funny to me that they would take some chairs outside to sit and pose, why not just stand?
