Interesting, in some places things not changed much.
These photos are great!
nice! the peking-paris autorace is surprising one, i didn’t expect a cross continent racing was happening as early as 1907.
How did you get all these pictures?? It’s Amazing!!! Thank you for sharing!

The pics were collected by Ralphrepo@Flickr, I’ve provided the link at the top of the posts. The originals of these photos are hard to find obviously, but there are shops that are selling copies of these vintage pics.
I can’t see these pictures in my country.
