100+ year old pics

Again these two pics are from my grandfathers collection, from the 1920 period, that’s 100 plus years old.
They’re from celluloid negatives, but the subject matter is the highlight. This depicts the method of hauling these monster logs to the mill for processing. The loading method when explained to me, was fascinating. All done by man power & leverage.
The little guy in the first pic, standing on the ground, was Stan Cassidy, a mate of G father. Beautiful pics, all taken with a Kodak Bellows camera, I think the model was like K3 or similar.
Grandfather was Latvian by birth, went to sea as a youngster, but when he met his love, an English rose, they migrated to Australia to raise their son, my dad, & became a farmer when the Timber Mill closed down.

These photos are of great quality. And the subject matter is good, also. My mom had a Kodak bellows camera, but I don't remember which one. It was my toy when I was quite small!
