Romania was formed in 1859 through a personal union of the Danubian Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia. The new state, officially named Romania since 1866, gained independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1877. During World War I, after declaring its neutrality in 1914, Romania fought together with the Allied Powers from 1916. In the aftermath of the war, Bukovina, Bessarabia, Transylvania and parts of Banat, Crișana, and Maramureș became part of the Kingdom of Romania.[15] In June–August 1940, as a consequence of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact and Second Vienna Award, Romania was compelled to cede Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina to the Soviet Union, and Northern Transylvania to Hungary. In November 1940, Romania signed the Tripartite Pact and, consequently, in June 1941 entered World War II on the Axis side, fighting against the Soviet Union until August 1944, when it joined the Allies and recovered Northern Transylvania. Following the war and occupation by the Red Army, Romania became a socialist republic and a member of the Warsaw Pact. After the 1989 Revolution, Romania began a transition towards democracy and a market economy.

The back side of this card provides an interesting, but highly dubious link between this building and Lynchburg's history..
"LYNCH'S TAVERN...was built 130 years ago to accommodate travelers crossing James River on the Old Lynch's Ferry. Now remodeled and occupied by HUDSON MORGAN ELECTRIC COMPANY, INC.... Lynchburg's Lighthouse Since 1910"
The claim is highly doubtful, because this building, which is believed to have been at 521 Main St. (immediately adjacent and to the left of the Paramount Theatre), was on property that was formerly associated with the Lynchburg Traction and LIght Company. Hudson Morgan Electric operated at this location during the 1930's and 1940's, and the building was gone by the 1970's it seems. In the earlier 1900's, Hudson Morgan Electric was located at 624 Main.

Nothing is known about the story behind this post card other than what can be surmised from the card's message. The first Portland Rose Festival occurred in 1904. At the time this card was produced for the 1908 Rose Festival, Klamath Basin residents were optimistic they would soon have a railroad connection with the state's urban center. Unfortunately, it would be another year before the Southern Pacific Railroad reached Klamath Falls from the south, and yet another 17 years before there was a direct rail line between Klamath and Portland. The card's beautiful design doesn't highlight any features unique to Klamath. It was likely a stock image.
Traffic appears to be quiet in this photo taken at the corner of Fifth and Main streets. A notation on the post card (cropped out in this view) indicates a date of 1926. At that time Klamath Falls was in the midst of its boom period, when lumber mills were in operation throughout the area, and irrigated agriculture was rapidly expanding. A sign on the Odd Fellows building at left points to the basement office of the Klamath News, the town's morning paper. Down the street is F.W. Woolworth, and at the end of the block, the Hall Hotel, later known as the Stevens. The stand of trees at far right lined the courthouse block.

The heyday of the post card was basically from 1900-1912 or so. This is a “real photo” card, showing a residence. Itinerant photographers would travel from town to town, take photos of homes of prominent citizens (or others who paid them) and sell copies to the owner, who could then send photos of his house to friends, etc. Photographers in various communities, as well, did the same for their locales. What endures from this passion for photographing and sharing images of homes is a wonderful record of the domestic architecture from that time period.

The Lakeside Inn was one of Klamath Falls' largest hotels in the late 1800s and very early 1900s. The building stood across Main Street and slightly west of the Baldwin Hotel. By 1919 the building was being used as an apartment building, and was torn down in 1923.

From 1977, this is a dealer post card sent out to customers from the dealer's service department. This example is from Bob Brown Oldsmobile in Portland, OR.
A view across Lake Ewauna toward Miller Hill and the Klamath Hills south of town is featured in this post card image from around 1905. This perspective shows the natural shoreline of Lake Ewauna before the arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad. The steeple of the First Presbyterian Church building is seen near the lower-center of the image. The church was located at the corner of Third and Pine streets.

The headgates of the A Canal on Upper Klamath Lake drew much attention as the Klamath Reclamation Project began operations in 1907. The Klamath Project was the nation's first large-scale federal land reclamation and irrigation project. The headgates were the focus of attention again in 2001 as they became the site of protests over the government's decision to deny water to farmers in order to protect fish. Armed federal agents guarded the headgates around the clock for several weeks that year. The original headgates were replaced in 2002. A ridge in the background is covered with timber that burned in the Orindale fire in August 1973.

There is almost no info abut this camera in the Internet and McKeown's.
Matt Denton says:
"Patent June 14, 1910" (1914?)
and Canemah Studio, a member of Flickr, says in the description of his camera's photo:
"It was manufactured with a collaboration between the Houghton Ltd. of London and Gennert company of New York in the early 1900's, probably between 1911-1915. It's a very uncommon camera and information on this particular model has been difficult to find. The attention to detail is fantastic and the workmanship of British cameras is quite remarkable and beautiful."
A brief history about Houghtons in pre-WW1 era:
Haughtons dates back to 1814 as a glass seller. Then they began to distribute the Daguerreotype requzites. After 1904 the firm produced a vast range of cameras and absorbed some small camera makers. From 1900 until around 1909, a large number of Houghtons' cameras were German imports, primarily Dr.Krugener.
There are many similarities between this camera and some Dr.Krugener models. So, it could be that my camera is a kind of copy of Krugeners.

London Post card from 1969 which depicts London transport's RM1737, LT's first all over advert bus which advertised Silexine Paints with scenes of the Capital painted all over the bus. This bus now resides in the London transport museum in Covent Garden although it is a different body and running units due to LT's overhaul system.
