I love old everyday pictures, in particular those of places I have been a lot to. Old Stockholmiana is like candy to me. When they remodeled the Student Union House a few years ago they ran a series of old photos from the house in the student paper, and believe me, everyone was studying those pictures in minute detail. It was incredibly interesting to see how life was for engineering students back in the 1930's. They wore suit and tie to school and they ate lunch on fancy porcelain on small round tables with full length linen table cloths - and they were waited on!
No standing in endless cafeteria lines and balancing trays for them!
Spoiled pampered bourgeoise brats... It's those kinds of things that get me, the kind of information you'll never find in history books.
