YOUR WHAT?

For the best, but I can't say I'm not morbidly curious as to what the result of one of these monsters would look like. A flurry of feathers and falling bird corpses, I would expect.

Very dieselpunk. WW1 was wild.

Exciting things, I would presume.

Pros:

  • Cool way to die

Cons:

  • Literally none

More seriously, I believe they're very fuel/energy efficient, but generally have stability problems.

Might be terrible wear and tear on the roads.

As an E-Bike user, I endorse this statement, but I think a vehicle that weighs a literal ton tipping over might be a bit more trouble than a bicycle doing the same.

Probably it wasn't a great contemporary look, either.

At first I read that as "Millions of birds" and was thinking of the Four Pests Campaign

19th century Brits: "Surely the Free Market(tm) will correct this massive humanitarian disaster!"

The Free Market: [does nothing]

I came across a series of good monowheel pictures, couldn't just pick one!

"Just because there's a war on is no reason to look slovenly!"

Unironically, yes. WW2 is probably the best era for finding replicas (or originals) of just about every minute detail of period uniforms.

Oh, tea can use milk, right.

Well, you still had to pay for all of this. It was just additionally limited how much you could purchase - with what is shown here being, then, the 'maximum'.

The man who took these pictures was an early innovator in color photography and patronized by the Tsar, so he had a lot of opportunity. Some very gorgeous work, I love it.

If memory serves, only the actual expedition members died, while the crew aboard the Terra Nova survived.

Mixture of places. Most I get from Rarehistoricalphotos. Many I get from Wikimedia commons. Some I google, when I have a piece of historical trivia I know but no picture to go with it. When I feel adventurous, I search online national archives, found some good Ethiopian pics in the Polish archives a while back.

Thank you! I just try to keep a little life in these historical communities!
