      Why is the prison door not properly sealed???

      I don’t believe 1) It is a prison 2) From 1907

      So this isn’t AI.. the first people who owned color cameras were prison guards from Bukhara, Uzbekistan?

    4. There’s a series of photos from this. But I think they were colorized? I don’t remember. But the pics are fascinating.

      Zindan prison, with inmates and a guard with Russian rifle, uniform, and boots, Central Asia, Russian Empire, between 1905 and 1915

      Seeing old photos in color always messes with my sense of time. It feels way closer than it should.

    7. I was trying to figure out what rifle that is, as it’s older than a Mosin-Nagant or Berdan. Seems to be a model 1867 Krnka rifle, which was a metallic cartridge conversion of several earlier designs. These were still used by police and prison guards long after they were obsolete.
