A rather intriguing pair of photos given Monet's reputation for the study of light and its colors; the world then who couldn't see his art in person can only see black and white images, completely nullifying the genius of his artistry.

Not sure about the colour choice. I mean, the woolen sweater he's wearing could well be red, for all we know, because, while there's no way to tell what colour something is in a B&W picture, red tends to appear darker than blue on most period photographs due to the way the wet-plate process fixes light.

Well, pictures before circa 1900 were all taken on plate glass (especially using the wet collodion process), which captures incredible detail, unattained until the introduction of digital camera technology... Which is why they used glass plates for astronomical surveys (astronomical spectroscopy and astrometry) until around 2000, when digital took over.

Alexandru Bucur 6 years ago

Cunard's four screw arrangement was always better than White Star's choice of just three for the Olympic class, due to the fact a rudder is far less efficient if it moves in the wake of a propeller than if it moves in the relatively calm waters between the screws. I mean, sure, the Mauretania class had a host of other problems, like stability issues and vibration from it's turbines, but there you have it. Ironically, if the roles had been switched between the Titanic and Lusitania, each of those ships would have dealt better with the other's disaster - Titanic had transverse coal bunkers so a torpedo hit in the same place would not have set off a coal-dust explosion, and Lusitania's propulsion and steering arrangement would have made a glancing blow with the iceberg a lot less likely. It's debatable however if once hit in the same manner as Titanic, Lusitania would have fared better, because she had taller bulkheads but also longitudinal ones, meaning she listed severely as she sank.

This inventor of the machine gun possibly responsible for the most casualties in history, died at 94 years old back in 1994. But not without regret. He wrote the following to a priest at his church two years prior to his death: "I keep having the same unsolved question: if my rifle claimed people's lives, then can it be that I... a Christian and an Orthodox believer, was to blame for their deaths?" he wrote. "The longer I live, the more this question drills itself into my brain and the more I wonder why the Lord allowed man to have the devilish desires of envy, greed and aggression."

Amusingly, these streets are not deserted - the photographic process of the time required long exposure times, so only people standing still long enough would appear. There is one such figure next to the far barricade and three more "ghosts" (people that stayed still for long enough to appear on film, but not enough to appear clearly), near the closer one.
