	Its a little early for the 20s.But I wont be anal.... 1911,not really Art Deco,not really Victorian,it was a transitional time... But anyways they do show a time when life was different. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Ah, now I see. A Few of these predate 1920 because I was sharing them with silent_films. Most should be relevant, though. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
