Incredible! Are these old postcards?? Or where did they ocme from? Thank you so much for posting!
No, those are old albumen prints (some tinted) taken mostly in the 1880s by Alfonso Farsari (his name in the post title linked to his Wikipedia entry)... Though no doubt later made into postcards and whatnots; very popular at the time...
