These might change your perspective on the past.
Every day history gets made. And while most days nothing of note happens, when you look back on daily life as it was lived a hundred or even fifty years ago, you begin to see how far the human race has come in such a short period of time.
And don't worry, this isn't a history lesson, there won't be a test. Just sit back, relax and enjoy some interesting pictures from the past.
