You have the publication year, title, and author in the first picture. What more do you need to know the source?

#13They are beautiful.
The first image appears to be some kitchen gear. But I'm unfamiliar with it. Is it a toy home distillery?

It's a samovar; wood- or charcoal-burning vessel (electric in more modern versions) for boiling water for tea and keeping a tea kettle warm.

#16as a permanent potato lover, i have to ask:what kind of recipes do "potato based diet" do communities around the world have? i live in a place where rice is the major food source and that is the base of all lunch and dinner. everything else is had "with rice".
i wonder how potato is consumed on a daily basis (i would love to) except the fast food stuff. errgh
