Title: Historical Photographs thread Post by: scotty77 on June 01, 2013, 02:40:30 AM Old photographs fascinate me, probably more than anything in the world.
Tonight I came across a thread on another forum that contained some amazing scenes. Will list some in the pages below, and please feel free to add your own. Here is a decent website that I'm just going thru now http://www.reddit.com/r/HistoryPorn/?count=26&before=t3_1feqzm (http://www.reddit.com/r/HistoryPorn/?count=26&before=t3_1feqzm) Title: Re: Historical Photographs thread Post by: celtic on June 01, 2013, 02:42:25 AM I like this one.

Just look at the scale of it, endless. I wonder how many of the people in the crowd could imagine what the horrors of the next few years would bring. And during WW2 and the aftermath, how many of them felt guilt/anger at themselves for being there? EDIT: Apparently its of a rally in Reichserntedankfest and not Nuremberg (http://i.imgur.com/Y2228GU.jpg) Title: Re: Historical Photographs thread Post by: scotty77 on June 01, 2013, 02:46:49 AM The beginning of the Hollywood era: the filming of the MGM screen credits, 1928

He was on finals for an emergency landing following a fire about 15 miles from Hatfield. At about 10 seconds from touchdown, at about 100 ft, the aircraft suddenly pitched nose up and, since there was no response to the controls, he ejected. The aircraft crashed on the airfield, broke up and caught fire."

I just love old photographs. They're like time machines, you can go back to a point in history and see it as the people who were there saw it. I love candid family photographs too. Where those now passed are forever young. I can help thinking how lucky future generations will be to have the millions of photographs we take today.

Plans i scanned from special collections. Holzminden POW Germany, July 1918, 60 officers began the escape attempt, getting away through a nearby field of rye. But the tunnel collapsed on the 30th man, blocking the escape route. Here we have a original note from the camp drawn by a POW which details the camp layout and where the escape tunnel was located. This inspired many other escapes from camps and a very famous film.

My Great Grandmother died and he was left with the kids. The story I'm told was that in those days in Scotland it was not the done thing for fathers to bring up children on there own, and there was a threat of them being taken into care. He located a job in Ireland managing grazing farmland where cattle could graze and be held over ready for market. Here there was no threat of the family being split up. We visited him on a few occassion during the 60's. There were no roll on roll off ferries then and cars had to be lifted on by crane. The ferries were not as stable as those now and sea sickness was awful. The things I remember most about the cottage was there was no electricity and no running water. Water had to be fetched in buckets from the nearby well. By the door was a stand full of canes, I always chose the one with the silver top. These were needed to shoo the cattle from around the well. I have many more pics of us on top of hay stacks etc. Title: Re: Historical Photographs thread Post by: MANTIS01 on June 01, 2013, 01:33:17 PM I didn't know Jodie Foster batted for the other side
