The old saying goes that a picture is worth a thousand words. The latter is especially true if you walk through your memories with their help. Long before the existence of mobile devices and the ease of use of the camera, only professional photographers were on the scene. Fortunately, they captured many moments that otherwise could not be remembered so vividly. Some photos are disturbing, others are sensational, some are beautiful... But they all have a common history. These are legendary historical photos that you most likely have never seen before.
Legendary historical photos you've definitely never seen before:
1. Children for sale
Times were hard and dealing with children was not easy. A Chicago mother hides her face from the camera as she puts her 4 children up for sale on the front steps of her house. Maybe keeping them would be a better idea. What do you say?
2. Cover story
Look at the photo carefully. This one features the members of The Beatles walking in the opposite direction as on the cover of the famous Abby Road album. This is just one of the creative marketing tricks of the famous group.
3. Clowns everywhere
Ronald McDonald, the recognizable mascot of the famous fast food chain, was introduced to the world by Williard Scott, a very popular weatherman in America today. Ronaldo's paper pot on his nose was replaced by a red ball today.
4. Time before the White House
The dynamic political duo, Bill and Hillary Clinton, were caught playing volleyball in 1975. It looks like Hillary is dreaming of bigger and better things... Maybe the White House lawn?
5. For a better day...
Handsome, talented and well-groomed Clint Eastwood walks the streets of Rome. The photo was taken in 1964.
6. The famous MGM roar
Lights, camera, action! It's far from comfortable, but it's a moment that will remain in the memory forever - filming a lion that appears in all MGM films. You have a scene in front of you, don't you? We admit, the two men on the other side of the camera had to be extremely brave.
7. Vintage Times Square
A photo of New York's famous Times Square taken in 1911 proves that the famous landmark was just as stunning then as it is today.
8. “I'll be back!”
So said Arnold Schwarzenegger, wrapped in an American flag, on the day he was granted American citizenship. The event is a foreshadowing of his political future. Oh yeah… It's definitely back.
