About the Photos
Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Many were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

So, the guys are always commenting on the hot girls, well, here's turnabout!
The guy looking at the camera is HOT. With a face like that, he'd never want for a date in any period!
Too bad I missed him!
