    I wouldn't necessarily call them "ancient." Maybe antique at most. One tends to think of cave drawings when referring to ancient.:D The photography and style used seems to be around the 1930's to 1950's. The clarity of the pictures, and non static poses would seem to indicate the that the photographic process required one to remain perfectly still for only a few seconds, and not a few minutes that older techniques required. It's a good look into the past. Thanks for posting them :)
