Pictures can tell stories worth a thousand words. This is especially true for historical ones. Just by carefully studying the setting, objects, and people in them, we can learn what everyday life was for people in the past and how it’s different from today. Images, just like written diaries or letters, are primary historical sources that can be examined, providing insights into the past that words can’t even begin to describe. 

Today’s collection of photos from the days gone by is brought to us by the Historical Capsule subreddit. Let’s all celebrate the beauty of the past by scrolling down and marveling at the thought-provoking and mesmerizing images in this list, and be sure to upvote the ones that you believe everyone should see!

Aninals are so much better than people, they'll love you unconditionally. When I ended up on the street last year, my dog stayed with me, still loyal to me even though I could tell she suffered just as much as me. I don't care about my birthday, but will never stop celebrating hers as well as our adoption anniversary. She saved me more than I saved her. Whenever she will leave (hopefully not too soon), I will celebrate her even more and never stop to be grateful for her and everything she means to me.

    It’s no secret that artificial intelligence (AI) is slowly creeping into various aspects of our lives. Unfortunately, the same can be said about historical photos that people are starting to fake using this tool. 

    While obviously forged images like Napoleon giving a TED Talk or Mata Hari taking a selfie with an iPhone don’t pose any threat and are created for humor and artistic expression, others, which can pass as authentic historical photographs, are crafted to deceive people.

    Just last May, the Facebook account Past Perspectives shared a photo of Henry Ford with his first car in 1896. “Henry Ford sits in his first automobile the Ford Quadricycle. Ford made three Quadricycles in total. Ca. 1896,” the caption writes.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    However, the suspiciously clear black-and-white picture doesn’t show Ford or even accurately depict the first car he manufactured. The image also had certain defects, like his right hand seemingly going through the steering wheel, which gave away the image's forgedness.

    Even though the image was fake, the page doesn’t provide any information that it’s AI-generated, letting people believe that what they see is an authentic piece of history.

    This is what freedom for women looks like: the freedom to be as modest or revealing you wish to be, without judgement, without legislators attempting to control your body, without any negative implications behind the reason to dress a certain way. I hope Iran can get back to this eventually (I know the women there are literally dying to make it happen), and that the U.S. learns from this lesson.

    In another instance, the Animals Are Amazing Facebook page shared a photo that looks like it could have been taken in the 19th century, depicting several men standing next to a giant horse. But if one took a closer look, a few things start to raise eyebrows. Like the enormous fingers of a man standing behind the horse or the blurry people’s faces. It was later found out that the image was created as a joke, but at that time it was already shared more than 10,000 times and picked up by other pages as it was real.

    Would to see/study neolithic cave art. Werner Herzog’s movie ‘Cave of Forgotten Dreams’ is an excellent way to see the art. It was incredible, seeing it in 3D in the theatre.

    And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Some people go as far as creating new historical events that never happened and illustrating them with AI-generated images to pass them as reality. Like the “Infamous Blue Plague Incident” of the 1970s in the Soviet Union, the “July 2012 solar superstorm and blackout” in the U.S., or “the 1993 Eruption of Mount Rainier.”

    As a little kid in the 80's I once bumped in to a shelf of glass mayo jars in the grocery store. A bunch of them fell and shattered everywhere. I was very upset about the mess I made but the people in the store were just glad I didn't get injured. That's all I can think about any time I see glass jars lined up like this. :)

    I may not be old enough for pop in glass containers, but I AM old enough to remember when mayo, mustard, peanut butter, and jams/jellies were all in glass jars, and I literally cringed when I read this. I would have been in SO much trouble with my parents had this happened to me, and I really hope that wasn't the case with you.

    Yep. Those are the early 2-liter plastic bottles that had the "cap" covering the bottom to provide a flat bottom for the bottle. Those didn't last very long, so this is very close to pre-plastic, but it's definitely not close enough.

    We knew where to find discarded pop bottles (people would chuck them from their cars and they'd usually survive )and we'd usually get enough for gas money (gas was around 35 cents a gallon) and cigarette money and cigs were around 35 cents a pack, lol.

    2 liter bottles were already switching to plastic by 1980. They hadn't designed feet for them yet, so they all had black plastic bottoms glued on so they'd stand up

    The faking of historical pictures and events was popularized with the creation of a program called Midjourney. It allows anyone to create AI-generated photos from text descriptions. Co-creators Brodbeck and de Barbuat fed content to the machine for several weeks so it could recreate snapshots from the 20th century. The AI-image generator has extremely improved since its first version and now is the most realistic AI model so far.

So if that same amount of effort was put into electric it would have gone somewhere. Tesla found out how to produce free electricity for the grid but it wasn't done because the people with the money wanted to make more money.

    My great great grandparents had that model, but with right hand steering for left hand traffic, even though Denmark had right hand traffic since 1758. Someone who was envious at them owning a car, reported to the police that my great great grandmother was driving even though she didn't have a licence (which was made mandatory in 1908) because he'd seen her sitting on the left side of the car when they were out driving. The police issued a fine which was delivered by mail. Which prompted my great great grandfather to drive to the police station which was quite a distance away. The fine was cancelled, and the police had to host my great great grandparents while the car was recharging do they could get home again. To think that range anxiety was already an issue in 1912 🔌🪫

    Experts are highly worried about how this can affect our history and our perception of it. “The potential impact of such posts cannot be overstated. The more these fake images circulate, the harder it becomes to separate fact from fiction. Each new post or share distorts the truth a little bit more, until we're left with a version of the past that bears little resemblance to reality,” says digital colorist and bestselling author Marina Amaral. Not to mention the malicious people who can intentionally manipulate history to fit their own political agenda.

    These remindsme of the Fayum portraits of Romans in Egypt. In Fayum these were something called "encaustic" painting and my understanding is that these portraits were used on the mummies of the individuals. The Romans, apparently , took to the idea of mummification when they moved in to Egypt. I dont know that these are the same but the style is the same.

    The big convertible is an incredibly rare and sought-after 1946 to 1948 Chrysler Town and Country. The body is solid wood (not wood over metal). Now a $100,000 plus car.

It was such a big quake that it caused a tsunami to hit No. California in a city I'd been to before and I was afraid it would hit where I lived, too, near San Francisco (because a kid's imagination can go wild, of course).

    From Wikipedia: a United States Army corporal who served as a combat medic with an infantry company in World War II. Due to his religious beliefs, he refused to carry a weapon. He was twice awarded the Bronze Star Medal for actions on Guam and in the Philippines. Doss further distinguished himself in the Battle of Okinawa by saving an estimated 75 men, acting on his own, becoming the first of only three conscientious objectors to receive the Medal of Honor for this and other actions

    no, it's the person who processed the print fixing the low contrast between the image and the sea behind the guy. He's adding a shadowing demarcation line, it's not uncommon in that era of early photos going to print publications.

    I don't know about this specific suit, but suits similar to this were used in very early diving expeditions - if you believe Wikipedia, mostly for salvaging sunken ships, since 'explore the bottom of the ocean' wasn't high on people's priority lists yet.

    There are at least two kinds of salutes - one acknowledging a superior officer of your military organization and the other making a respectful greeting to forces of an allied nation. The second kind applies here.

    Because there was a lot of disease in those camps due to the terrible conditions they were kept in. Also kept them safe from the surrounding population who had wanted them dead. Also meant that food rations could be distributed properly without being plundered. All sorts of reasons.

    The Graf Zeppelin flew around the world without trouble. Zeppelin airships would have used helium, only the only source for it at the time was the USA and the USA wouldn't sell bulk helium to Germany. Also, the Graf Zeppelin (airship, not the actual count) did have a smoking room on board, held at slightly higher pressure than the outside to ensure no hydrogen got in if there were any leaks.

    The Bank of Italy was in SF at the time of the earthquake and fire. The owner of the bank decided the best place for the bank's money was in Oakland rather than leaving it in the safe in SF. Genius move, because after the fire the rest of the bank vaults were too hot to unlock. The Bank of Italy was the only bank that had cash to lend. They invested their portfolio in lumber floated down from Northern California, Oregon, and Washington so that SF could rebuild. The Bank of Italy grew to become the west coast Bank of America.

    There were criteria within the different nations on what constituted a warrior. I mean, he could be a chief, too. The Apache had a HUGE range, like the Commanche, because they were still hunter gatherers for the most part, so they were forced into agriculture by American colonialism/genocide, and basically the complement of diet change, lifestyle change, etc., really took a toll.

    In 1900, in England and Wales, education was compulsory between the ages of 5 and 12. Once a working class child turned 12, they would become part of the work force. Most families were not rich enough to allow a child to remain in school. They needed the wages the child could earn. In 1918, the age was raised to 14. In 1947 to 14, and 16 in 1972.

The whole "gay panic" thing must have been really, really horrible for gays at the time - not only were your friends dying inexplicably, but the hate-mongering bigots were using the unknown illness to whip up hatred against you and your dying friends. Thankfully that phase was brought to an end fairly quickly here in the UK, for all that the hate-mongering right-wing press fanned the flames. The gay-AIDS-panic business was what made me understand about bigotry for the first time in my life.
