A vintage photography blog featuring thousands of high-definition images from the 1850s to 1950s (and maybe a few before and after that), including some spectacular Kodachrome color shots. Most of the photos come from high-resolution scans made by the Library of Congress, which are then restored and displayed on Shorpy with captions describing what you're viewing.
