  1. Samarkand, Uzbekistan, 1971.

    Returning to one of my favourite photographers on Fortepan, Sándor Kereki, this is an impressive image of the Jewish cemetery in Samarkand.

  2. Hungary, 1941. A rather ordinary, yet remarkable photo of villagers somewhere in Hungary, or possibly in Transylvania, Romania. The photo is from an album of photos that was found in a rubbish dump. These photos, taken by Károly Mikolay, have been digitised by Fortepan and added to their ever-growing collection that now has well over 200,000 photos.
