The Brooklyn Museum has been uploading their lantern slide collection in high resolution to flickr; the latest batch is from Egypt, taken in 1900.
I have no particular obsession with Egyptology, but these photos are gorgeous. Kudos to the Brooklyn Museum for sharing them.

Beautiful photos indeed! These photographs show a connection between the past and the present that makes it unavoidable to see this photographs as fine works of art.
