All credit to the original artist for this fantastic piece, though I’m somewhat proud of how well the edit turned out looking in terms of recreating the “old-timey” effect.

It’s a really, really neat reminder, IMO, of how MLP is taking place in a 1910’s-ish setting (no automobiles, but x-rays in hospitals, propeller-driven airships, skyscrapers in Manehatten and relatively modern culture – certainly closer to modern than 1800 culture, at least). When you suddenly realize that, it brings on a really amazing appreciation of understanding our ancestors and the lives they lived – if not a somewhat chilling reminder that one day our current lives will be considered ancient history. Though personally I like to think more of how it brings the past to life and helps you realize we’re not so different from our great-great-grandparents, after all. Helps make the past seem a lot more relatable.
