I like the chimney sweep, the pretty lady, and the knife-sharpener best. Great photos:

They are fascinating.

Looking closely at them, you wonder who they were, what their dreams were. How they lived, etc.

Very interesting, an intriguing set of shots. Life must have been very hard for some of them. Thanks for the Post.

Living conditions for ordinary folks was medieval. Its not hard to see why they had a revolution there.

Hey those shots aren't very sharp...can they be printed mural sized?
(sorry, I was being sarcastic, they are wonderful shots of course and illustrate perfectly that emotion, and storytelling are much more important components in photography than lens sharpness, dynamic range and format).

Natives USA in the 1800’s went to war so they could live in a wigwam and tepee. - Just sayin
