17 wonderful historical photographs from the archive of a man collecting photo oddities

Rob Muris is a photographer and artist from Amsterdam who has worked in the old archive. He was to digitize several thousand historical photographs. It seemed to him unbelievable how many amazing shots could be kept here in excellent quality. Gradually, he began to spend more and more time in the archive. Exciting work literally swallowed him. And then Rob completely started putting aside the most amazing and unusual of the photo treasures he discovered in a separate folder. So his collection of oddities appeared, the pictures from which were so original that the man simply could not help but share them with the world.
