Lumea rurala romaneasca acum o suta de ani, Istorie si imagini. Romanian rural life one hundred years ago, Hystory and images Editie bilingva romana -engleza Albumul isi propune sa realizeze o istorie in imagini a satului romanesc asa cum era surprins de catre fotografi acum o suta de ani, in perioada construirii Romaniei Mari.

Un loc aparte il ocupa vizita regelui Ferdinand si a reginei Maria prin cateva dintre satele Transilvaniei in 1919.

A special place has been reserved to the visit undertaken by King Ferdinand and Queen Marie through several Transylvanian villages in 1919. The images are reproductions of original illustrated postcards and vintage photographs unknown to the general public,taken from Mr Alin Ciupala's personal collection or from the collection of the National Archives of Romania, and are accompanied by an introductory historiographic essay and explanatory captions, texts written by the collector.
