The Blue Planet
This is the classic view of the Earth from the moon, as taken by the late William Anders. It remains as an iconic reminder of the Apollo 8 mission.
Tree Army
A century ago, the American government sent young men to build what would one day become America’s great forests. Here, we see them mid planting efforts.
Masked Mystery
This image seems to be from 1908, taken in Baltimore. It may be a staged recreation of how detectives would inspect suspects without letting anyone recognize them. This was before the two-way-mirror became mainstream.
Ravages of War
Many youths nowadays remember only the horrors of World War 2, but the first World War had its fair share of terrors. Like in this picture, where an entire forest has been torn by the fighting.
Flying Fleet
Aerial photographs of World War 2’s airships aren’t as common as we might think, mostly due to the pilots themselves needing to be the ones taking the pictures. We’re lucky to see these many in action.
Extended Family
This image is from a family from Denmark, and it’s estimated to be from around 1910. It’s fascinating to think about all the stories we’re not privy to, the tales this picture was meant to tell and never will.
