Shorpy photographs

From Insulator Wiki (Wikilator)

This is an archive of large format photographs taken of ordinary daily life where insulators just so happen to be in the pictures. These provide interesting insight into line construction of the day, especially in large cities.

Special thanks to Pat Barkwell who has found a vast majority of these. Compiled by David Wiecek.
