Tarbuster, that photo from 1908 of the two Scottish ladies is amazing!!
The footwear, the way she is reaching, and also the technique, looks like they were just roped together, no anchors or belay........

Yes, aspendougy, that's one of the most inspiring vintage climbing photographs going: it's almost surreal how well sorted out those women look.
Those Heimhuber images Mouse laid down are also very cool.

BBA's mom and gang on approach to Half Dome cables in Aug 1928, No one else on the cables.
BBA, the son on the cables May 1960 and no one else on the cables. Well almost no one else.
The final photo is a group on the cables 1920.
