Kultur

[porphyry]

Long ago Yahoo destroyed a huge cache of photos we stored on-line with them—no accident or anything, their policy just changed and there was no long anyway to view or download anything but thumbnails. Recently however, another web-service has made it possible to rescue these lost photos. I have placed one folder of them on the web. The folder was called Kultur, and I suppose I thought the images reflected the ideals of aristocratic life in Wilhelmine Germany—even the aristocratic view of peasant culture--but really I don’t recall collecting it, or where any of the images came from. Here is a sample: And the link: http://picasaweb.google.com/Anebo10/Kultur

Perhaps this link will work (no idea why the one in the body didn't).

Seems to a mixture of folklore, kultur and kitsch; it is always fun to see anything like this connected with Wilhelmine Germany, it was such an eccentric place. What on earth is going on in that first picture?
