I came across this on lunch break. Quite interesting use of old technology:

Gotta agree with the others on this... they do look original save the modern gadgets.

This is true, Or the photographer should have done a series of both. One with all 1800's scenery and one with very subtle modern things that are not as noticeable. Both opportunities were there.

You can get a pretty good old look without resorting to a wet plate camera :-)
