Napping On The Precipice

I’ve seen some of these before, but it’s always worth browsing these gorgeous photos of 1909/1910 Tsarist Russia; I wonder if these folks could begin to imagine the horrors that would descend upon them in a few short years.

   Life under the tsars was no bed of roses, either. They persevere somehow but life there is hard … and sad.

   These pictures, 100 years old, are as beautiful today as they were then. Thank you for posting them.
