Rare Historical Photos That Really Hit Home 

Thats cruel the poor horse pulling all the cases and boys

I didn't mind being the remote so much as I minded sometimes being the antenna!

Wonder if that young soldier came back to his Mum. Hope so. So many didn't! It's so strange to see how dangerous some things were about everyday life. The mechanics and those young schoolboys perched on those suitcases. A fall would have been possibly fatal. No health and safety then.!

I was a remote control

"early tv remote control".... Yeah, I am from the 80's but I was me too at one time. I was also the lawnmower and the dishwasher. Most people seem surprised at the fact that we had 3 dishwashers in my house, if you arent including my mom.

3:21 How strong was that horse?

Oh man, the early TV remote control was a real struggle for children born before 1980. I am a survivor of this tragedy.

These photos were so awesome! Thanks for uploading.

The blast pattern of the railway gun almost looks like a flower...and I'd have to give a NOPE to the telephone lineman.

Considering the young soldier & his mother: My uncle Lawrence never came back from WW II. He died in Italy. They said my great grandmother never recovered & was dead within 2 years. He was 1 of 8 children, but the baby of the family. Lawrence's brother, my Uncle Lloyd was an alcoholic when he came back. Dad said that even working in the fields, he'd still drink all day. He disappeared in the 50s and 60s for 15 years. The family got a phone call from him out of the blue. He was a field hand in Montana and said "Will you please come get me?" Of course they did. I sure loved Uncle Lloyd. He was so sweet to me. And he lived to hold my son in 1991. Dad said one of the worst thrashings he ever got in his life was after the war when he cast some firecrackers on the ground behind uncle Lloyd on 4th of July. He said uncle Lloyd hit the deck, and came up after, madder than a fury!

The little mechanic lying in the street working on his “car”. The little girl’s was parked beside his. Glad that drivers were mindful of the children lying in the road. That poor horse and the boys perched on top of the mountain of suitcases. Love History and these photos. The imitation Sphinx actually had a nose! Sad about the fire and pictures of war. Was astonished about how crowded and crushed together the housing and buildings were. Loved the Arizona photo the best.

Most impressive. And the musical score is spot on. The video actually made me sad. Not sure why (maybe the musical score? :). More than likely thinking of the days of so many lives, and my life, gone by... Great vid. 👍 Satifies, and stirs, a lot of curiosity. I'll be watching it again. And again... Thank you.

'The Just Divorced' sign guy was a hoot. And the Marilyn Monroe' stunt woman from 1938. Marilyn Monroe don't think even started making films until 1947 and I don't believe she ever need a stuntwoman, as I don't believe she was ever an action movie staple, She did work in a Airplane factory in the early 40's building airplanes and her picture appeared in a newsletter which was how she came to Hollywood's attention, or something to that effect.

I love this channel. Fantastic, thought-provoking puctures, beautiful music, multiple "Nopes," some of which make me very queasy. Thank you, Mark. These clips must take a great deal of hard work. Much appreciated 😊

The Fort Apache picture showed how beautiful our country was before roadways and cars and buildings….😢❤

I lived near crystal Palace. Beautiful park

Although some of the captions for the photographs are irksome to me, the images themselves are very interesting. It would be nice if the sources for the photographs could be listed. Some of these could lead to research topics for students (or anyone wanting to know more.) Having sources of the images listed would then help such research and/or curiosity. Just so it's clear, I am happy these are available to view and appreciate the chance to see them. The music is pleasant and interesting without being distracting.

The 1950's grocery list was great! But the poor overloaded horse and the many people in high places are things I don't want to see again.

The last photo of Pt. Lookout hit home. I was born and raised in Chattanooga,TN and have been on Lookout Mtn several times. Never stood on the edge. That would be a NOPE!

These are imperative truths about our past. They lived loved and danced. They sang they saw and they cried. And now truly we have walked down the centuries together. It’s surreal to say the least.

Early remote control! As was I in the 70's 😂

Great pictures!!

3:30 I feel sorry for that poor horse.

The look of the mother with her son going to war is tearful

3:04 tv remote - I used to sit near the TV, stretch out my leg, and turn the volume down during the commercials 😋🌷🌱📺

2:35... Safe? Didn't chock the wheels. 7:42.. We used to call that " belly flopping". 9:31... Kind of a scary place to live if you're a sleepwalker. 🙏❤☺

The "nope" photos should also say, "taken moments before fall and death," or "do not try this at home kids!" 😂

I like history. Good job with this. I like photo of young WW1 soldier and mother at 0:22 before going to war. You know what the mother is thinking...If she will see her son alive again! Plus, at 8:39 I have heard about Relna Brewster Mcrae. I lift weights also. Her good friend, Pudgy Stockton often joined her doing the same thing on the beach! Thanks for the upload.

And a.monster size *"NOPE!!!!*" to the guys doing construction work walking on those.iron bars building New York City's Empire State Building...🤔🤔🤔😐

My dad’s uncle died in WWI in France in September 1918.

Some of the best photos I have ever seen here

Those Empire State Building steel workers were some of the bravest people on the planet. Right up there with Bearing sea crab fishermen. 😮

4:30 that grocery list sure would come in handy

Wow. Seriously awesome photos. I can totally appreciate the remote control from the 1970s.

7:09 those phone repairmen sure coulda used a Bucket truck

1:22 I didn't know that happened. Robert Duvall wears a cue card. 5:07, 6:08, 9:08, 9:24 I can't believe that they didn't give their workers parachutes. 8:53 We need our own personal helicopters now.

Watching your channel is my new favorite thing to do ❣️

The images, of course, can be found anywhere but it’s how they’re strung together that makes the difference. Then we had the piano. Drew me in and got me wondering what it was and who’d written it. Turns out I didn’t have far to look. Add one new subscriber.

The 1923 FA cup final on Wembley info seems to be exaggerated. According to British sources, the official attendance was 126,047, but it is estimated over 200,000 people were actually present, not 300,000.

0:23 The mother's face is so heart-wrenching... 😢

Favorite photos: the Chrystal Palace in London. the Zeppilen docking at the building tower & gangplank

That poor horse got to me having to pull all the weight.💔

I was also an early 1970s version tv remote. My mother used to say that's why she had kids. I never thought it was funny. She still thinks it's funny. Smh.

"The Civil War Rodman Gun" is actually a term for any gun designed by a man named Rodman. All of the guns were made using a new tecnique that made them stronger than all previous guns and they were considered "true guns"......."Rodman guns were true guns that did not have a howitzer-like powder chamber" per wiki. The wiki on the "Rodman guns" is actually pretty interesting if you are into that sort of thing. I think its amazing that Rodman could conceive the process of making a gun in the way that he did, it was really extensive and clever.

Another terrific collection. Th Rotary Javelin Personal Helicopter and the Point Lookout, Tn. really blew my mind! Once again, thank you for sharing!

~*~ Just Wonderful ~*~ Thank You so Much for Sharing History with all of us ~*

I was a 70's TV remote controller

I like the idea of the reusable grocery list, analog style

Awesome music choice for some amazing pictures!

I thought I was the first T.V remote control in the 70s. Dad thought I Was for sure.

Gorgeous music

Absolutely love watching these videos in the morning. The captions make me laugh. Also, very cool to see how life was in the past. Great job. Keep them coming.

I need a personal helicopter.

Notice how none of the nurses are doing tik tok dances? Oh how times were better.

Picture @ 6:23 Crystal Palace, Anybody know what the tower in the background was?

I hope the young soldier made it home

Not one of the student nurses from 1938 is wearing glasses. Just an observation. I know they are young, but contacts were not yet in general use at the time, either. I would think that someone in a group that size would wear glasses.

3:39 He's just just about to enter an incredible nightmare. The Germans took 5,000,000 Soviet prisoners of war and over 3,000,000 of them died in captivity, worked and starved to death. 😞

Cool pic of people boarding an airship

..out of curiosity...”who’s taking those photos....?

wow Winnipeg made the list?

I love these old photos.

Très bon choix musical.

Men just have no fear when it comes to heights :( Imagine doing all that knowing nothing will catch you????? :O

4:28 actually that could be practical today as well.

Love the first remote control in the 70's. Reminds me of myself and brothers. Also I remember with the rabbit ears. We had to always adjust them and stand there until it was perfect! Lmbo

3:05 - I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one to use his kid brother to change channels.

The music that accompanies this is beautiful, but somehow sad to me.

Marilyn Monroe wasn't making movies in the 1930's.

The mindset of the "Just Divorced" guy - make two signs and keep both.

The flooded Pantheon (5:00) was because of global warming, of course.

3:35 Wait!!!!!! One Horse!!!! At least he’s a big horse like Clydesdales, they’re built for heavy work. They’re called draft horses and they are big ! 🐴🦬🌷🌱

Get out of Texas and take the rest of your Dems with you.

I was a remote control and antenna. To some extent, I am still.

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Some awesome pictures, thank you 🙏🏻

I can relate to the remote control kid

That "little mechanic" , what is he working on that seems to have a woman's gorgeous leg kicked up in the back of the photo?

9:00 looks like something James Bond would use.

thanks , very cool

👏👏👏

Not bad ⚡️

You’re not gonna say the name?

Much better music

Finally a chance to observe all aspects of each photo. Thank you.❤

Love the reusable groceries list😂❤❤❤

Nice collection. I was the remote control and sometimes the antenna in the '50's.

When people truly had to WORK for a living.

Loved the background music! What is the name of it?

The music was more interesting than these old black n white photos.

Nice. We been there and don e that.

too small the writing wont read on a phone
