Victorian England in colour
Unless, like me, you are friends with a time-traveling stingray, this vision of Victorian England in colour may come as something of a shock. Trust me, the real Cheapside is considerably more shocking in person. Also featured are pictures of foreign parts; sexy.

Best Flea-post ever. Fascinating images from that link.
One thing amazes me in particular. Despite scads and scads of horses on the roads, the urban areas are not grimy dumps. Their sidewalks look cleaner than ours do today.

Fifth Avenue in New York looks remarkably tidy as well...

Parliament looks vaguely familiar.

Like my driving?

I like the fact that there's still at least a half-dozen guys aboard the wrecked Princess May. No need to disembark or jettison cargo, lads, we'll just wait for the next storm surge to float her off.

Hey, I think I see Pete Doherty in one of those pictures.

Just what I have been looking for: A British imperialism collection!
