Shorpy anyone?

Opium den shot looks relaxing.

Funny how they have the same crappy mismatched junipers lining the Taj even today.

Nice African boners. No NSFW warning?

penis

I guess the first explorers to Africa weren't afraid of being attacked by a raging African boner. If the African guys were that attracted to the first white man they saw, wait until they was the women!

I thought: "I'll bet she liked to party"

Love the workers in the French alley...More 100+ year old color photos of everyday life, please...

Eatin' Queer Fetuses for Jesus: Nice African boners. No NSFW warning?

FTA: Amazing: This picture was taken in the then West African country of Dahomey - which is now the Republic of Benin. For these villagers it was most likely the first time they had seen a camera

Funny how it looks like they know how to pose to, uh...highlight certain areas.

And the guy on the left seems very excited by the camera.

Sorry guys I thought tribal penis was OK. The voice in my ear says it's actually the worst kind.

Okay, who else is going to the top of the posts when they click on "Redisplay/refresh comments?"

And also the first time they'd seen pants.

Ooooohhhhh....much better joke than mine!

OtherLittleGuy: "African Boner" - FARK Handle, Rock Band, or FOX News Story?

Yes.^

My new years resolution is to not click on any more Daily Fail links. And I'm starting a few hours early.

The tribal shot is clearly a photoshop.

Look, just because you can measure yours in centimeters, doesn't mean it's a 'shop.

Eatin' Queer Fetuses for Jesus: Nice African boners. No NSFW warning?

Those aren't boners. They're penis gourds. (Still probably revealing enough for a NSFW, though.)

Cool pics, but the Daily Fail must be hard up for content. The TV series aired in 2007, and the book was published in 2008.

god, Holland, way to represent

ZAZ: The photographs all have copyright notices. Are they still protected by copyright?

Possibly. Any photos published before 1923 are now in the public domain. However, unpublished photos would have been under copyright for 70 years after the life of the author, which would be Albert Kahn if the photos were work-for-hire. The likely much younger photographers Kahn sent around the world may not have been dead for 70 years yet. Even if we assume they were work-for-hire, still being under copyright between 1978 and 2002 allowed for the possibility of renewal into Sonny Bono/Disney infinite copyright, or something.

PizzaJedi81: Look, just because you can measure yours in centimeters, doesn't mean it's a 'shop.

....as opposed to meters? Regardless, I still prefer the standard inch scale, thank you.

Think about it though, what 3 guys would stand next to each other, in the sun, with a boner. Clearly the wind isn't even blowing. Perhaps then the camera man was parading copulating wildebeest for their interest...?

==========

This picture is from Africa, not New Guinea. I don't think Africans were advanced enough to invent penis gourds.

Nope, I think this is clearly a case of, "Hello, sailor!"

I'm not sure that photo is 100 years old. The truck looks too modern to be a 1911 model.

FTFA: Bygone times: This picture taken in Canada appears to show cowboys out at work in a field.

It was actually french whores battling cyborg gorillas at the Great Wall.

I love the look on the face of the Vietnamese chick. It just screams, "I rove you rong time, GI Joe!"

Eatin' Queer Fetuses for Jesus: Nice African boners. No NSFW warning?

Funny, I came here to post, "REALLY? A NSFW warning for what amounts to pretty tame National Geographic material??"

Probably the first African penises that made it into history. Bless them.

Nothing like the excitement one gets when seeing a camera for the first time!!!

I know fashion changes over time but even "old" and radically foreign niche fashion usually looks reasonable if sometimes quirky. However, look at that Dutch couple, I literally laughed out loud. It's like something from a comic book.

Just amazing stuff...

Just stupid how it's all about the book, but no info if it's available for purchase or anything. This includes the direct site. (new window)

Just wait til someone sees your picture a hundred years from now.

The "first unread post" code is confused by timewarped boobies, as in Rixel 2012-01-01 09:25:08.

Yeah, I figured that out about two seconds after I posted. :-) Still pissing me off.

The African villagers are obviously showing off how virile they are. I have no objections!

I'll be in my bunk

If you look closely you can see that the third African guy is holding this photo (pops like...)

Being an Old West buff I'm pretty sure those Canuck cowpokes aren't working,they're dressed too nicely,one guy's even got a tie!

The Canadian cowboy on the right looks familiar.

Can anyone inform me at what place of business is a 100 year old historically significant photo not safe? I'm honestly curious.

Maybe you can explain it to me then. How did Rixel post something tomorrow? Does it have anything to do with the Obama traveled to Mars thread?

Instant classic...
