photographic thursday :: vintage history images

Many times the older images I stumble upon across the worldwideweb are anonymous or dragged out of the crevices.  The first image is unknown but I placed it there to show the absolute fluidity of the image.  The second is also unknown and striking for what seems a costume.  Third is Clara Tice 1908, Isadora Duncan 1899, and Gertrud Arndt wraps up this post of images which blink my eyes in history.  These are real people with real stories and surreal moments captured by what we now call vintage photography... or are they real at all?
