Crucifixions are on hold because of supply issues for the timbers and spikes are on backorder. All of the torture chambers under those secluded estates are down for maintenance, and most of the junta dictatorships have run out of subversives to interrogate, and their police centers are closed for renovation and upgrades.Quite quiet on the forum, the last days?
OK8 Let's wait until all these big shots return with their private planes from the climate conference in Glasgow. They will then order to chop a few forests for supplying crucifixion wood, to nail all those who critisized their brilliant and ambitious plans to stop global warming.Crucifixions are on hold because of supply issues for the timbers and spikes are on backorder.

Things should return to normal soon... hopefully.
And after that many trees are felled to burn the crucified. Of course, these piles of wood have to be soaked with premium petroleum. That will tell global warming what will happen to it if it doesn't stop immediately.OK8 Let's wait until all these big shots return with their private planes from the climate conference in Glasgow.

Fascinating - for me, at least! Lieut. Col. William Burns (two portraits 4:21 on) may well have been the son of Robert Burns:Earliest photos of British Army Soldiers in the 1840s. No sound

United States, 1840. Several are in Philadelphia and a few, I recognize the locale.I love old photos like this. Most of these appear to be portraits, or photos taken at Edinburgh Castle. Very early some of them, 1840s.
I particularly love Roger Fenton's photos from the Crimean War, taken on campaign, showing real soldiers going about their business. These are the closest we will ever get to photos of Napoleonic Wars troops, the uniforms and modes of combat are still very similar.

American Civil War photos are a different class altogether, just a few years later but almost completely lacking that Napoleonic quality. In just a decade we went from the Crimea to the Civil War, from the last great conflict of the old style to the first of the new, with railways, mass armies, trenches, ironclad warships and the Gatling gun.
On a different note, I hope the following story doesn't mean we will see less pictures of naked ladies running around east European cities?

Then there are the throwback stylesThese are the closest we will ever get to photos of Napoleonic Wars troops, the uniforms and modes of combat are still very similar
Well, George McClellan for one (the "Young Napolean") liked to pose with his hand in his uniform shirt--old style. I assume the poses were assumed because of the exposure times required. The Civil War did break new ground photographically, however.I love old photos like this. Most of these appear to be portraits, or photos taken at Edinburgh Castle. Very early some of them, 1840s.

It was at Antietam in that war that rows of dead on the battlefield were photographed and displayed a few days later in an NYC studio. There are fascinating photos, but I understand(?) they would violate standards to post here.The Civil War did break new ground photographically, however.
