Servians (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

skillful north said:
Don't you suppose they are probably Serbians?
The Library of Congress said:
Cassies grandma: Thanks for the information. Serbs or Serbians would probably be the term used today. The captions for the Bain collection reflect the language at the time they were made. We will update the source data and reload the description.
skillful north said:

Great how you are making it easy for people to reproduce, LOC! I read that the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam is now selling 3D-prints of their entire collection~

Justin Haynes said:

William Gibson said:
Wondrous, can't help thinking did they make it thru Spanish Flu in 1919, thru Stalin's terrible efforts, and finally thru the German attack and atrocities of WWII.

Krakoviak Dance, Bronx Park, 1911 (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

Art Siegel said:
From Krakow, it seems. Want to do your own Krakoviak dance? Instructions here: www.yiddishdance.com/Krakoviak.pdf
Wojtek Felendzer said:
In Polish, the spelling would be "krakowiak". The word also means "a male resident of Kraków". And, as if there were not enough confusion, a female resident of Kraków would be "krakowianka".
