I love flickr and, in particular, The Commons on Flickr. Looking at people's photos from the most amateur through to more spectacular professional images is such a privilege. Also, scanning through the many images held in the world' s cultural instutions is fasinating.
Some of my favourite images on Flickr Commons are those from the Brooklyn Museum's Paris Exposition of 1900 set. The one here is titled
Paris Exposition: main entrance gate by M. Binet, Paris, France, 1900. See more photographs from the
Paris Exposition of 1900.
How extraordinary to sese the exhibition from the river, must have been very exciting to have attended, thanks for the link to those beautiful old images!
