40 alternate historical pics

[Griffinhart]

Can you imagine the racket that is making? Tesla is just sitting there reading, giving zero f***s.

Actually, this is a faked photo. It's a period photo, but fake. It was a combination of two photos. One of tesla sitting with everything off, and one with him not there and everything on.

Cool pic, but not real.

Gizmodo also claims Teddy Roosevelt didn't ride a moose. While that particular picture might be a composite image, there is no historical evidence that Teddy, in fact, did not ride a moose. We all know he possessed the manliness requiring to tame large beasts; that is historical record.

Ugh, that site is annoying the way it labels some photos "FAKE" when its not the photo that is fake, it's just the headline or story attached to it that is made up....

The Eiffel Tower pic almost made me nauseous!

Me too. No safety gear, at all.

Baby Cages? WTH? (pic #28)

Many of the photos remind me just how bloody P.C. our society has become. We're such complete whiny pussies now

I agree. It has turned us into wussies who are scared to do anything.

It's now impossible to look at a period picture of Bill Cosby sitting around with women with drinks in their hand without wondering.

#34. Sailor Kissing Nurse, Times Square, August 14, 1945

Oh yeah. Sooooo "rare."

I guess "Iconic" is synonymous with "rare" these days.

I can't believe Buzzfeed actually has imitators.

 

[ControlD]

The pictures of painting the Eiffel Tower and Bridge... gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

I thought the same thing. I can't imagine doing something like that, even with modern safety equipment.

The one with the kid in the cage hanging outside of the apartment... real?

That picture did seem like a strange one to include. That is an iconic photograph for sure.

Alternate historical pics??? ALternate to what??

I was thinking we would have pics of what it would look like if Germany won WWII or if Russia nuked the US....

These are just historical pics....nothing alternate about them.

I don't trust the caption. He looks better dressed than I did at his age.

The caption for the pic where kids are for sale has a link to the whole story:

Not a happy one.

The nurse claimed that she didn't know the sailor and didn't enjoy the kiss.
The Golden Gate bridge is always being painted when they get to the end they go back to the beginning and start over.

#14 - pretty sure there was colour photography in 1990.

Also, what makes these alternate photos?

Just that they tell the "side stories" and not the main stories. But it might be a misuse of word, due to my non-native English skills.

Still cool!

Thanks for sharing. I was wondering about their story. Their mother is a whore in a half!

I was expecting pictures of this in this thread.
