I think they are very neat...not at all eery. I collect old photos and postcards, mostly from 1920-1950. I think it is neat to see how people lived, dressed and what they did.

With military photos it is interesting to see how armies are all so different. When you see photos of German soldiers inthe field like this, they are usually younger and very fit...these pictures they are mostly older looking and kinda chubby (as compared to the Germans).
