Hi. This is pure plagiarism. you didn't take the photos so they are not yours to monetise. You haven't even shown a source. This post has been reported to @hivewatchers.
Of course I didn't take the photo myself since they are from hundred years ago. And the photos are already in public domain so anyone can utilize them in any ways they see fit.
