50 Interesting Photographs From The Past That Might Help You Learn Something New

You can see the love and sadness in all their eyes, especially the pupper's.

It was quite common in the states to have what I'll here call "community-owned dogs." (For all I know, also in the UK.) If you read the early Peanuts cartoons, Snoopy was NOT Charlie Brown's dog! Some panels show others, such as Patty (not to be confused with Peppermint Patty) or Shermy, feeding or walking Snoopy, or referencing him as their dog! Petey from the Li'l Rascals (a.k.a. "Our Gang") was also a community dog. Eventually, leash laws and veterinarian needs made it common for a family to regard a given community dog as their responsibility.

Poor doggie but at least it has a lot of new friends now

😧 oh my. Damn I'm cryin'

Like many of the captions here, they're just a bit off. Here's the actual story "20th April 1936: A group of children in Brentwood, United Kingdom who organized a collection for an injured dog called Bob, who would have been destroyed because he had no owner to pay for his treatment.

One of my favorite pics of my people. I could only wish to be so joyful

I wonder what her story was. Hopefully a happy beginning and ending!

I hope she had a good life.

So many native people around the world are just absolutely beautiful - even in the warped Hollywood sense. I think our expectations have been warped by journalists wanting to focus on differences - we grow up expecting Native Americans to all look like Sitting Bull - or Iron Eyes Cody - when Lily Gladstone is just as representative. To quote The Muppets: "Pipples is pipples!)

I love her smile. It is quite rare to see a smiling face in older photos.

Masks may be old tech but they do work.

history repeting

Well, Donald said I just have to drink bleach.

And 100 years later, history repeats itself…

Some things never change.

This picture is also the cover of an Bad Religion album, "Christmas Songs" images-65f...f931c8.jpg

In the book "Band of Brothers" by Stephen Ambrose, the soldiers of the US 101st Airborne are in The Netherlands, near Eindhoven, for Operation Market Garden. They trade with a local farmer for some canned meat and fruit, giving him cigarettes and a bar of chocolate. "Hoobler gave him some cigarettes, and Webster handed him a D-ration chocolate bar. [The Dutch farmer] sucked in the smoke greedily—the first decent cigarette he had enjoyed in five years—but saved the candy for his little boy, who had never tasted chocolate. " Imagine a young boy who's never tasted chocolate! We forget how much people did without. Even in the US, many things were rationed, like sugar, coffee, and even silk.

That’s a look of pure joy and gratefulness

Essentials. I can feel that joy.

This picture always makes me teary

What about Jesse's German friend luzt long? They strolled around the stadium arm in arm, right in front of hitler! Hitler was so mad he sent poor Lutz a new father and talented athlete to the front lines. Lutz wrote Jesse's a touching farewell letter. He said he was so scared and asked Jesse to let his son know what kind of man his dad was.

As a German, I find this oddly satisfying. Jesse Owens rocked. Big Time.

And then came home to segregation.

Fleet feet!

Pictures teaching something new ? 🤔
