Hey the shoes on the flapper in the first photo, and the tarp to right. Plus the planters by the door ...all this seems specifically modern.
TonyZed68
Amazing!

One of the plastic bottles have a UPC on it in the barbershop photo...
clamdriver
Great photo but the first one is not from 1922.
Banhammer72
Is it just be or does the Combat in the South Pacific look a like fake? Kinda more like a collage of images?
TobyWBreeden
The forst modern Olymp[ics were in 1896. The ancient Games were staged in Olympia, Greece, from 776 BC through 393 AD.
sporkie
Technically not the first Olympics homeslice
InspektorMarek

What happend with Lucky Legs I ?
Chainhealer
The NY one was taken at 88 Mulberry street. That's where the bank was. You can Streetview those buildings.
Dogebert
Didn’t know they had plastic bottles in 1922 barbershops...

1922. Zoom in further by holding down your Ctrl key while tapping the + = key and you see a man on the other side of the car. 1922?
missastromccluskey
The zoom is awesome, thanks

#1 That isn't a 1920's style dress or makeup. Spaghetti straps were not a part of the flapper style until the 1960's made it popular.
Griff77
#1 was taken June 20th 2009, girl posed for photo as fathers day present.
Ridicrule
Being from metro Detroit, that looks like Henry Ford's house?

The New York picture was taken on Mulberry street and was originally a Photochrom postcard, I.E. in colours.

What do you mean exactly by cleaned up?
Hesstastic
The badly photo shopped Michael Cera was removed from every photo
Jakethesnake357
Cleaned up to Perfection is an understatement
Ilikeyogurt
Yeah, just look at the level of detail
ICraveStarDamage
I wonder what happened to lucky legs 1?. These are great by the way.
RegisteredAirplaneDoctor
Wasn't so lucky and got turned into drumsticks
donjohngamer
Well technically the first Olympics was in 776 BC

... Good old days when photography had a lot of technological limitations and still they managed to take pictures far superior to ours. +1
IdleNarrator
Knowing you perspective and lighting, and no pixel limitation can get you a long way
Shamorza
true, film grains do not have clear-cut edges like pixels, making analogue photos more smooth and similar to how we see things with our eyes

#1 is a retro modern photo, look at the black plastic bags hiding something on the right.
RacecarRoadcar
What are they hiding?
FigAlert
Totally. I thought the exact same thing when I zoomed in. That’s a contemporary lens...not from the 20’s.
Ridicrule
Being from metro Detroit, t hast looks like Henry Ford's house?
thatdamnmooch90
Looks like Stan Hywet Hall in Akron, Ohio.

I wonder if in 100 years anyone will try to clean up the terrible quality camera phone pictures from the early 2000's...
MarvinTheMartiansDog
who'd want to see all those bathroom selfies
LanaDelReyy
Let’s hope not.
FallOutBoy
I can´t stop looking at the flapper girl on #1 I´d have asked her out but i think she´d just laughed in my face. Look at that smirk
RipOffTheBandAid
If you ask today you might be in luck. In fact I think she'd be delighted to go out with you
SwedenAndersson
Rather look at her legs how would she go out with anyone she has no bones
PoOtEr144
Probably an unpopular opinion... I don't think she is attractive.
MacaroniDeathFork
I can't stop looking at her leg ~
LurkiLurk
Be afraid of her man in the back.
audioknob
I couldn't stop staring... That car... Damn I want one.
Verldemert
Dude, she’s probably laughing because you keep using an acute accent instead of an apostrophe.
LanaDelReyy
Sooooo cute
Verldemert
It’s acute one, ya.

Which talkie is this from? I need sauce.
labyrinthconvention
not a talkie, it's porn, '7 chances', also Flaming Youth (1923), The Fast Set (1924), The Freshman (1925), What Price Beauty? (1925), 1/2
labyrinthconvention
The Midnight Sun (1926), Casey at the Bat (1927), Long Pants (1927) and That Certain Thing (1928). 2/2
MadMupp
Im sure its a modern photoshoot dude, so you may get your chance to be rejected. God speed
Nineteenletterslong
Most certainly not an old photo.
Ratnavati
https://kellie21.deviantart.com/art/1920s-2-133299773. Definitely not
GetYourKnitTogetherNow
Why would there be a guy behind the car If it was a staged photo?
prolapsingandrelaxing
Well spotted
letsnotgothere
https://kellie21.deviantart.com/art/1920s-2-133299773 Well he's not from the 1920 whatever he is doing....
Larirari
#1 appears really modern, especially if you look at whatever is covered by the tarps in the background near the front end of the car.
sothereisthat
If they were faking it, they would have moved the car...
missastromccluskey
I thought the quality was too good - good pick up
Ratnavati
You are correct. https://kellie21.deviantart.com/art/1920s-2-133299773
Raecracy123abc
Yep I thought the expression, fence that it looked like from a modern museum or historical site, & well the quality overall made it BS
Larirari
The woman herself doesn't have quite the right look about her. Not necessarily the expression just her entire facial structure and make up
Raecracy123abc
Maybe not "expression" but flappers being on the fringe+ the camera being new, there is an inherent awkwardness or pull away that's present
Larirari
Er, rear end.
Sarahsmomhasgotitgoingon
My thoughts exactly. I'm calling bs on some of these.
Ratnavati
I did a reverse image search, and this picture came from a website about the roaring 20's. Wasn't able to find anything else
Ratnavati
Scratch that, I found it on deviant art. https://kellie21.deviantart.com/art/1920s-2-133299773
