Wondering through the Taiwan Blogosphere, I see countless images of Taiwan, sharp and colorful; yet, none as compelling as these black and white, well-composed, illuminating photographs. Genuine thanks for sharing. Who took them?
Love old pics
Makes you realize how valuable pictures like these are. Such a different life and so much change in a short period of time.
The little girl on the stairs - she might have grown up to be a real beauty - by now she may be a grandmother. And the old man taking a smoke break is probably in his final resting place in the local cemetery now.
I wonder whether the little boy ever got to ride around the island. He looks a bit scared there, but young boys tend to have big plans. :-)
Great pictures, as always!
The neatness from the Japanese time was still present. This is most evident in the picture of the traditional market where everyone was tidily dressed.
No wonder, the older generations of Taiwanese maintain a fond memory of the Japanese rule.
