After our previous trips to past:

Today we are going to travel to the last years of 19th century in Belgium  thanks to the Library of the US Congress (LOC).

Like postcards, the photochroms feature subjects that appeal to travelers, including landscapes, architecture, street scenes, and daily life and culture. The prints were sold as souvenirs and often collected in albums or framed for display.
