workerONE, in Two Imperial German sound locators for detecting airplanes, WW1, 1917

Before radar was invented, we pointed lights at the sky hoping to see enemy airplanes.

Hawke,

And after too, since radar is light.

bort, in Early color photographer Sergei Prokudin-Gorskii and two Cossacks posing for a picture, 1916

looks fotoshopped

rustyredox, in Parisians use chairs to navigate during a flood of the Seine, 1924

Look at that line. Imagine if you were unfortunate enough to be commuting in the opposite direction. No temp construction semaphore to save you from the one way traffic to work.

quotheraven404, in Czechoslovakians celebrating the fall of the Soviet-backed regime after the Velvet Revolution, December 31, 1989

Accidental Renaissance?

blahsay, in Traditional 'Chinampa' lake gardens and canals, Mexico, 1912

Such smart farming! I’m surprised they make the canals so deep they need boats to get around though.

Cl1nk, in Traditional 'Chinampa' lake gardens and canals, Mexico, 1912

Great picture! I’m surprised that I’ve never seen a modern photo of the Chinampas (that aren’t from Xochimilco) I always thought the system came in desuse way before the times, or that the city someone engulfed most of the lake by the time the technology existed.

AToM_exe, in German U-Boat washed ashore at Hastings, UK, WW1, 1919

Mate, you can’t park here.

ZombiFrancis, in Bust of Stalin defaced during the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia - placard reading "Nothing lasts forever", 1989

Well he’d been dead for 36 years at that point so the placard was pretty apt.

Tar_alcaran, in British milkman making the rounds during the Blitz, WW2, 1940

God forbid you’d be forced to drink your tea without milk, like some kind of animal.

victorz, in British tanks overcoming trenches in the Battle of Cambrai, WW1, 1917

What an amazing picture. Thanks for posting! Love to see this type of content.

I love the Locust so much.

CaptDust, in Female IRA partisan with an AR-18, 1973

That’s hardcore

rosymind, in A boy in front of the Loews 125th Street movie theater, 1976.

That’s one cool kid

Fenrisulfir, in Audrey Hepburn, at the grocery store with her pet deer, 1958

1958 is a weird name for a deer
