Man is a being who creates history and cannot repeat his past, nor can he forget it. It should not be written with prejudice and it is necessary to give the view of both sides, even when it is only one side. And if some people think that history is actually little more than a list of crimes, follies and human misfortunes, rare historical photographs deny this.
We have prepared for you some rare photos that reveal the relationships and other sides of famous people and historical figures that you probably didn't know before. Some may surprise you... and some will make you laugh. But all the photos perfectly capture the essence of the things that have come and gone. In a way, we want to be like restorers who lift the dust and dirt from an image, but it never occurs to us to fix it according to our own taste or the taste of time.
