“The alluring and threatening face of primal history is clearly manifest to us in the beginnings of technology, in the living arrangements of the nineteenth century; it has not yet shown itself in what lies nearer to us in time. But it is also more intense in technology that in other domains. That is the reason old photographs - but not old drawings - have a ghostly effect.”
Walter Benjamin, The Arcades Project (393)
