Most of these are annotated, some even have extra explanatory text.

Unfortunately a lot of them have been colorized by hand and especially the reds are very strong compared to all other colours.

Wonderful colourisation.

Let's switch it up with some pictures of people.

These one are from the 1870s as well, but the photographer is unknown. They came from a collection of pictures belonging to Baron Raimund von Stillfried

These are very nice pictures. Thanks for sharing.

If there's interest and the thread stays up till tomorrow I'll be back with another round of photographs.

These are great, thanks anon

Are these from Felice Beato?

I've seen some pics from him before, and really liked them.

Thank you for posting!

These ones weren't, but I've got some Beato in my collection.

The next one are from Beato's Views of Japan from 1867.

He was one of the first Westerners to photograph Japan and went on to take photographs of China after the Boxer Rebellion as well as Burma and India.

This is it for the Beato Views of Japan album, but I've got another album of his coming up.

It's too big for 4chan though so I need to downscale them really quick.

>>15935805
Wow, thanks again op!

>It's too big for 4chan though

Could you maybe post them in /hr/ and link to it here? :D

I don't think even /hr/ will accept some of these as they are about 16MB each.
I'm uploading a zipped file of them though for you.

These ones are also from Felice Beato from another book called Views of Japan (apparently not the same one?) and some of my favorites.

They're the same size as the original btw, just compressed some more.

What's the file limit per thread? I think I'm gonna need another one.

Why did they pant the men so dark? Was it to show they were dirty peasants that spent their whole day working in the fields?

The skin is actually about the only part that isn't recolored in most of these.

When you look at old photographs of people from the West you'll notice a similar thing, where their skin looks darker than you'd expect.

I do think the fact that people spent a lot more time outdoors at the time and generally lived a different lifestyle contributes to their skin being darker though.

And finally, here are some random photographs by various photographers. There might be a few duplicates that I haven't gotten around to filtering out yet.

Also I think there might be too many for this thread.
