So cool!
I like the old appearance of most animals more than the "modern" appearances. I think the features back then were prominent enough to be recognized, but not so exaggerated that they were causing health problems, especially with brachycephalics.

I've never understood why breeders started shoving their faces in.
I don't get it either - the Siamese is my favourite breed, but not the pointed Oriental look. I much prefer the Applehead Siamese/Thai appearance.
I would love to see someone compile something like this for cats:
100 Years of "Breed Improvement" (dogs)
This page shows a little, particularly with Persians too but it may step a bit into IMO territory, especially for those on the site who prefer the flatter faces or other breed-specific new traits: http://messybeast.com/ultracat.htm
