1904 in Dagestan, did they still have the old "5min exposure" cameras?

Yeah that occurred to me. Still funny to see these chairs in these old photographs, in places which must have seemed even to them at the time as out of place.

I guess I kinda just always figure the house is just off camera, like behind the camera man or 30ft to the right. It does look silly though lol.
