I'm posting a link to these interesting historical photos because I think some members here would appreciate seeing such rare images. Please do not make any replies which are political, racial or anti-gay. Those are not welcome here and will be deleted.

We may read volumes upon volumes of history books and make our teachers proud. But there’s nothing more all-telling than real pictures that document wonders of the past. With Joseph Niepce’s camera obscura used in 1827, humans realized that capturing fleeting moments and preserving them was possible. And they never looked back.

This time, we are taking you on a heartfelt roller coaster that will take us back to the past. From the image of the nine kings of Europe photographed together for the first and only time to the snap of workers painting the Eiffel tower, these are one-of-a-kind moments.

In an unstaged manner, they reveal what genuinely made humans proud, moved them to tears, or left them heartbroken. Sometimes, the pics just show what kept them busy during the day. Fasten your seat belts, relax, and enjoy the time travel.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Thanks SeaBreeze.

eta--My favorite, I think, is #49 of the World Trade Towers. Loved those buildings!
eta--Also loved seeing Einstein's daughter! Don't remember the number.

I had to laugh at #45 showing the inside of an airplane in 1930. I can’t even begin to imagine today’s passengers sitting in those seats.
