“A picture is worth a thousand words”—a phrase most of us have heard before. And for a reason. Photographs can capture loads of information in just a split second and immortalize it for years to come. By freezing moments, photographers enable us to travel to places and times we’ve never witnessed ourselves. They allow us to see the world exactly as it was, whether it was yesterday or a hundred years ago.

The Instagram account called Historical Pix boasts a beautiful collection of pictures from various points in time. Their uploads cover a multitude of topics, from war to technology, from sport to fashion; you name it, it’s there. As they themselves describe, “It's just history. The good, the bad, and the ugly.”

We have gathered some of the most impressive photographs shared by the account. Scroll down for the images and feel free to browse this list of historical pics or this one, if you’d like to see more.

1945. 10-Year-Old Stoic Japanese Boy Standing At Attention Having Brought His Dead Younger Brother To A Cremation Pyre, Nagasaki

1945. 10-Year-Old Stoic Japanese Boy Standing At Attention Having Brought His Dead Younger Brother To A Cremation Pyre, Nagasaki

Years Later, Joe O’donnell, The American Photojournalist Who Took This Photo, Spoke To A Japanese Interviewer About This Photograph: “I Saw A Boy About Ten Years Old Walking By. He Was Carrying A Baby On His Back. In Those Days In Japan, We Often Saw Children Playing With Their Little Brothers Or Sisters On Their Backs, But This Boy Was Clearly Different. I Could See That He Had Come To This Place For A Serious Reason. He Was Wearing No Shoes. His Face Was Hard. The Little Head Was Tipped Back As If The Baby Were Fast Asleep. The Boy Stood There For Five Or Ten Minutes. The Men In White Masks Walked Over To Him And Quietly Began To Take Off The Rope That Was Holding The Baby. That Is When I Saw That The Baby Was Already Dead. The Men Held The Body By The Hands And Feet And Placed It On The Fire. The Boy Stood There Straight Without Moving, Watching The Flames. He Was Biting His Lower Lip So Hard That It Shone With Blood. The Flame Burned Low Like The Sun Going Down. The Boy Turned Around And Walked Silently Away.”

Photography allows us to travel all the way back to the 1820s—that’s when the first-ever picture was taken. The French scientist Joseph Nicéphore Niépce did that by using heliography—a process of applying sunlight to draw—and a pewter plate. Taking the picture took several hours, but the image, titled View from the Window at Le Gras, marked the beginning of modern photography.

Back in the day, taking a picture required a bit more than a split second. Roughly until the 1840s, you would have had to stand still for 20 minutes for someone to photograph you. Can you imagine trying to take a family portrait or a picture of your cat under such circumstances?

Nowadays, you can take a picture in the blink of an eye. You can also do it nearly anywhere, anytime, as most people now use camera phones. Able to fit in your pocket, they are undeniably more convenient than dragging around large pieces of equipment or trying to force the world to stop for 20 minutes so you can take a photograph.

ADVERTISEMENT

The cameras on phones developed in leaps and bounds over the years. The first one was the SCH-V200 model introduced by Samsung back in 2000. It allowed users to take up to 20 pictures at 0.35-megapixel resolution. Now, just over a couple of decades later, the average resolution of a phone camera is 12 megapixels, and the number of pictures one can store is way higher than 20.

When I was about this child's age, I was upset and crying. Mom asked me what was wrong. I told her that every time we posed for a picture with a pet, my brother got to hold it. My mom said I was right, and to go get the kitten. She stopped whatever it was she was doing to listen to me when my feelings were hurt, and to fix the problem. In my pictures with that kitten, my face looked just like this kid's.

According to Phototutorial, an average smartphone user has roughly 2,100 pictures on their device. The number is not that shocking, considering that people take nearly 93% of photos with their cellphones and only 7% use a camera. 

Taking photographs was mostly a job for professionals years ago when it required working with certain chemicals. But now, more people can capture beautiful moments with the help of constantly developing technology.

Certain historical pictures mark significant milestones in developing the process of photography itself. The first self-portrait, which could be considered the predecessor of the selfie, is a great example of that. Robert Cornelius, a chemist from Philadelphia, is believed to have taken the first portrait of such a kind back in 1839.

My dad only knew his father for about 5 years, he and his twin sister and my grandmother were evacuated just before the Japanese invaded Singaore. My grandmother was given the choice of two boats to leave on, the first going to Australia (closer) the second to England (she was from Scotland). She chose the second. The first one got bombed at sea, all souls lost. Dad and his family made it back home. My grandfather wasn't so lucky. He was a sergeant in the Royal Coastal Artillery and taken prisoner in Singapore after his family left. Despite two attempts to escape, he failed and was executed by the Japanese five days before the Surrender. 5 days made the difference between me possibly meeting him one day and not, and him being reunited with his family.

Whether it’s a portrait or not, you might have noticed that not many people would smile in photographs back in the day. Now, it is typical to put on a happy face for taking a picture (followed by a moment of awkward silence after everyone is done saying “cheeeeeeese”), but it wasn’t always like that, and there are several versions of why. Some say that it was based on poor dental hygiene, while others believe it was related to the time it took for one shot—smiling for 20 minutes straight can be quite a challenge.

One of the few remaining examples of classic Art Deco still standing. Those windows look exactly the same now as they did then. There was a time in the 70s and 80s when real estate developers were talking about tearing it down. It's now a national historic landmark.

Isn't this a still from the 1927 film, "Metropolis"? I could be mistaken but I think it is. If anyone here hasn't seen it, this is one of the oldest and most amazing science fiction films! If I remember right, it was a German film maker who wrote and filmed it but didn't finish editing it. He thought nobody would like it. Granddaughter found it in his attic after his passing and finished editing it. This was before sound in film (which BTW is where the term "movies" originates from. Once they figured out how to add sound, they called them talkies.) Before sound, theaters had a band pit where a live band would play along with the film. If you can imagine Looney Toons music dictating mood, suspense, excitement etc. It's powerful! So granddaughter kept it historically accurate and added fancy text for dialogue and band music for mood. The result is an absolutely amazing industrial-art-deco-utopia-dystopia-dichotomy-future film. One character even FaceTimed in it! I recommend!
