Amazing photo collection by Romanian Army Photographer
« on: Wednesday 05 February 14 00:44 GMT (UK) »
I came across this today and thought Rootschatters would appreciate it.

"Costica Acsinte was a Romanian army photographer during World War I who, following his discharge, opened a small commercial studio in Slobozia, about 80 miles east of Bucharest. For two decades after the war, he was likely the only professional photographer in the country, and by the time of his death in 1984, he had built an archive of epic, anthropological scope containing upwards of 5,000 glass-plate negatives and several hundred prints.
