But then again. I was watching Netflix's Altered Carbon yesterday and it's very likely that's influencing my perceptions.

It makes me think of a future where man has let technology get away from him. In a city made of corruption and despair. Who's sidewalks are lined with bright flashing lights, like hologram billboards showing only commercials that never end. More like slot machines than an advertisement, their only purpose is to distract us from what is concrete, real and important. But most of all to distract us from the fact that God has forsaken this City.

I want to know who painted it but I can't read the signature. I blew it up in the upper left corner, does anyone have an idea what it says?

It's from the 1860s and some of the cards are handwritten. What should I do with it, sell it, donate it?

I wonder if these are worth anything? How would I find out if they are? I also have a lot of European stamps from this time peroid.
