How Europe lived in 1904: a man found old photos about the life of Europeans before technology

It seems that life many years ago was completely different, and in many ways it is. The advent of technology has greatly changed our way of life, everyday activities and leisure. Today it is so hard for us to imagine how people lived, worked and rested at the dawn of the 20th century.

25 years ago, Bill Nelson, a collector of vintage photographs, found a pack of negatives on the sale of items from one old house in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Since these are very old and very fragile negatives, which more and more are destroyed over time, Nelson scanned them in high resolution, turning them into pictures.

Let's see what the life of Europeans was over 100 years ago!
