[QUOTE="donna723, post: 366114, member: 1883"] This whole site is just fascinating to me! It's old super-detailed photos on all different subjects, and if you click to show them full sized, you can see even more detail. Most of them are from the early 1900's and it's just like stepping back in time. There are literally thousands of photographs showing little slices of life from over a hundred years ago. The dirty-faced boy in the picture, Shorpy Higgenbotham, was a real person, a boy who went to work in the coal mines when he was just a child like so many did back then, and they named the site after him. There's a whole series of photographs here that depict children working in the coal mines, dangerous factories, etc. Once you get started looking at all the pictures, you just can't stop! Very addictive! [/QUOTE]
