Netizens Highlight 30 Big Historical Events That Happened Around A Century Ago
In 1826, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce took the first photograph to have survived to the present day, capturing the view from the window of his studio in Le Gras, France. Just a few years passed and photography had firmly entered people's lives, and history lovers received a new, truly invaluable source of information.
Almost two centuries have passed since then, literally every outstanding person during this time managed to end up on photographic paper, and we know exactly how almost all famous historical events took place. And, of course, there are many not-so-outstanding ones - after all, every person wants to leave a memory of themselves in history, even if it is just a faded piece of cardboard measuring ten by fifteen inches.
Historical photos are of particular interest - it's always great to see how people lived, for example, a hundred years ago. By the way, there is an extremely popular community on Reddit called "100 Years Ago" with over 686K participants. Initially, it was conceived in August 2013 as an attempt by enthusiasts to historically document World War I in photographs, day by day.
But as time went on, it was November 12, 2018 - and community members already enjoyed posting photos taken exactly a century before the current date so much that they continued to do so. As a result, we can now, for example, look at photographs shot in October 1922.
Perhaps, if everything in our world goes well, our descendants will look with interest in this community for some pictures from 2022, but for now, Bored Panda has compiled for you this selection of the most popular and most intriguing community historical photos. So fasten your seat belts, our time machine is going back in time!

[february 6, 1922] Chief John Smith Died. He Was An Ojibwe (Chippewa) Indian Who Lived His Entire Life In The Cass Lake, Minnesota Area, And Was Reputed To Have Been 137 Years Old When He Died Of Pneumonia
Imagine all the c**p he had to live through, just because he was a native American.
As an Ojibwe living in that era, the biggest enemy he’d face was the the Sioux. (My ancestors were Meskwaki: nearly wiped out by the Ojibwe with French muskets)
Load More Replies...If they said he was 107 when he died I would have believed it, but 137 is way out of range.
The 19th century Ojibwe didn't keep birth records. His age was a best-estimate at the time.
Load More Replies...I would be quite sceptical about that. But then look at him... I've seen oak trees about the same age with smoother skin.
Load More Replies...Or being 130+ years old is quite bad for the skin too.
Load More Replies...After photography came into vogue in the first half of the 19th century, many artists seriously feared that they would now lose their jobs - after all, the camera conveyed reality, landscapes and portraits in much more detail than any painter.
But it turned out exactly the opposite - deprived of the need to follow reality, the artists gave free rein to their imagination - and the second half of the 19th century became a real flowering of various artistic styles. This, by the way, is repeating itself with modern designers and their nightmares of losing their jobs due to the development of neural networks.

Load More Replies...I read once where a four year old was mailed to her grandmother's house. She was classified as a baby chick, because she weighed 48 pounds, and 50 pounds of chicks were able to be mailed. The driver pinned the stamps to the child's coat, and let her ride shotgun.
My grandfather was sent out to an adoptive family by mail. His mom has died 3 days after he was born of scarlet fever. He was the youngest of 7 kids and my great grandfather couldn’t take take care of them so he put my grandfather on the train. My grandfather was adopted by a wonderful family who basically did what we think of as open adoption so my grandfather could keep in touch with his family.
Mom didn't like trying to scrub the postage off his lil backside
It was cheaper than them going by public transport, and guaranteed they would be looked after (the USPS had a reputation to protect!). On this side of the pond it was made illegal to "post a person" in the wake of the suffragettes posting themselves to 10 Downing Street as part of their protests.

[june 10th, 1922] Frances Ethel Gumm Is Born In Grand Rapids, Minnesota
She'd go on to become Judy Garland and have an illustrious career as an actress and singer, her most iconic role being that of Dorothy Gale in The Wizard Of Oz (1939)
And then the studios introduced her to drugs and the rest is history. So very sad.
Her mom had all her and her sisters on uppers and downers when they were performing as a group as small kids. The gumm sisters I think
Load More Replies...Apparently Dorothy was supposed to be 5-8 years old. Not in her teens... Frank L. Baum's (he was the author, right?) wife wasn't happy with Judy being cast as Dorothy.
Mother of Liza Minellia, she made a number of other movies, and certainly became a cautionary tale for young actresses since then.
Cute little kid, but I never cared for her singing. And the studies ruined her life.
Oh I didn't know she changed her name how interesting! I know she had a bad run with bad drugs, if only there was more education on various drugs back then. So she would've known what is safe to take and in what quantity. Good thing we're not ignorant on these things anymore!
[april 3rd, 1920] In One Of The Great Celebrity Marriages Of The Year, Novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald And Flapper Zelda Sayre Were Married In New York City, Eight Days After The Publication Of His Bestselling Novel, "This Side Of Paradise"
People had different facial features back then. No matter how hard Hollywood tries to replicate it, they just can't(except Isla Fischer in the Great Gatsby) I wonder if it had to do with the food they ate? And their skincare routines. Just like every other generation looks different, the same way our ridiculous generation will look in a couple decades... All that filler and silicone and junk. I can't wait to see what these young people look like when they're old! Ha! (That really makes me sound old asf lol)
This is a french postcard of a random model couple, this is not a photo of F Scott and Zelda
Actually, that is a photo of them on their wedding day, and that exact photo appeared in some minor publications of the time. The watermark at the bottom is a photographer based out of Manhattan that traveled to Connecticut and captured this picture outside of the property. It is 100% authentic, and not a "French couple".

Load More Replies...If only the surviving recordings could have captured the timbre and tone of her voice, as Caruso's records captured his -- sadly, her coloratura soprano was pitched too high for the recording technology of the day. What's left of her performances on recordings certainly shows her incredible virtuosity, but as with all the other great sopranos of her day, we can hear almost nothing of the actual sound of her voice.
“As for classic staged or studio photographs, there’s nothing to say here. They prepared for the shooting in advance, put on the most beautiful outfits, took spectacular poses. Many photographers in their studios even had entire reference books - collections of beautiful poses, both for singles and for pair and group shots. And do not forget that an ordinary person, not rich or famous, took no more than ten photographs in their life - after all, they were expensive, really expensive," says Dmitry Kravtsov.
[may 30, 1922] The Lincoln Memorial Is Dedicated After 8 Years Of Construction. In Attendance Was Robert Todd Lincoln, The Only Living Relative Of The 16th President
I absolutely hate that I never asked my grandfather about these events before he passed. He was born in 1913 so he probably wouldn't remember this in particular, but it still amazes me to think about what he lived through.
At the same time, look at what you are living through.

His dad was estranged and an alcoholic, so hi family were by poverty forced into one of the worst systems in the UK at the time - the Workhouse. They were force separated from their mother. Her illness was brought on by a mixture of malnutrition and syphilis - both conditions she got due to being forced into living in a workhouse because Workhouses were nasty places that did horrible things to people.

[april 2, 1921] Albert Einstein Arriving In New York Where He Spoke On Relativity And Support For Palestine
What a misleading headline. He supported JEWISH sovereignty in the land that would become Israel.
Not exactly right either - he supported the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine, but one that would co-exist with Arab residents, not have sovereignty. "I should much rather see reasonable agreement with the Arabs on the basis of living together in peace than the creation of a Jewish state. My awareness of the essential nature of Judaism resists the idea of a Jewish state with borders, an army, and a measure of temporal power, no matter how modest. I am afraid of the inner damage Judaism will sustain—especially from the development of a narrow nationalism within our own ranks, against which we have already had to fight strongly, even without a Jewish state."
Load More Replies...In 1921, Einstein was a still a Zionist and supported Jewish settlers in Palestine lands
Oh no, how dare he believe his people should have their own land like most other ethnicities do, and did in the past.

I'm an old movie buff too. Such unappreciated art. Buster Keaton was hilarious.
Load More Replies...Buster Keaton is hands down my favorite silent film star. His stuff never gets old.
However, it was really worth it. And now, thanks to the fact that people were so fond of being captured on film a hundred or more years ago, we can open a real window into the past. So feel free to see how our ancestors lived, what they ate, what they were fond of and how they dressed - even if it was the most elegant clothes in their entire lives. Well, let's scroll to the very end of this collection and enjoy the pure spirit of history together!

Racism is so stupid, why can't people move on? It is the 21st century and we've been living together for years, but still, white people are harming and preventing black people from equal lives.

Lived in southern Georgia 1956 (1 yr), age 11, before moving to Tulsa. Heard not a word about this atrocity. Discovered a reference in Univ. Library & researched. Change of subject: Hope you all are aware that a few decades ago it was definitively proven that there is no scientific basis for "race." Mitochondrial dna (which we all inherit only from our mothers) in every human being on earth can be traced back to one woman who lived in northern Africa 110-120,000 years ago. She's sometimes referred to as "mitochondrial Eve." There are a very few "Adams," who joined the line early on. Those stupid forms that ask for "Race" are, therefore, racist in even posing such a question. I cross it out & write in: HUMAN. That's the only one that exists, folks.

[may 9, 1921] King George V With Crown Prince Hirohito In London. The Prince Is On A Tour Of Europe
Hirohito looks so young here and King George looks like he's exhausted with life. Granted, it was shortly after The Great War had ended. Hirohito is only 19-20 in this photo and wasn't ruling Japan yet. It is even more disconcerting seeing the young face with how Japan treated the people in its colonies
British people treated the Japanese like garbage after this photo right? (Canadians did too, we even had internment camps in the 1920s, I’m not pointing fingers just asking a question)
I know that Britain treated European and Japanese refugees during the war like sh*t and put them into camps due to rumours that some were hidden sleeper agents, and that POWs were treated like sh*t, and British nationals died in American internment camps. However I don't recall or can find information on Britain putting British citizens of Japanese descent into internment camps in the way America did. If anyone can find such, do direct me to it, I really do want to know!

We banned the sale of alcohol and cigarettes (or any tobacco product) during the 2020 lockdown (South Africa). I assume banning alcohol was to help hospitals so they don't have to deal with alcohol-related injuries etc. Banning tobacco was somehow because people share cigarettes resulting in hand-to-mouth transmissions (how the virus could spread). Anyway, all that happened was the black market profiting with bootlegging (and cigarettes) asking on average 3 times the price it would have usually cost. 99% of people I know had no problem obtaining these banned items if they could afford them.
2 guys in the center pocketed the bottles their holding. Lady in back right looks like she has a snoot full already.
