Foreign Policy online "Rare photographs of a time when Britain really mattered." (ouch!)

http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2012/07/25/once_upon_a_time_in_old_london_town

Big, if mediocre quality, photos from 19th Century London as seen in Foreign Policy magazine. The subtitle's a bit harsh. The fog effects, as I understand from watching Mad Men, are actually due to the industrial revolution, then in full swing. Judging from the fashions, I'm guessing these are from the 1870s or earlier. More informed opinions welcomed. Go to the link above for the full set.
