Japanese soldiers were being prepared for their attack on Pearl Harbor. This was taken from an old newsreel.

Back in the day of the family photos most would dress to the hilt looking forward to the family affair. In this pic it’s obvious who was holding the child did not want their face seen? Or were they concerned about the evils that the camera could bring?

This looks like it could be one of those childhood sweetheart stories. In any event it is darn cute. Better than watching them squabble.

If the kids think they have it tough going to school today then they just need to glance at this group making their way to school in 1959 in Italy.

A great deal of work would go into positioning the little ones for their photos. To the point where it would make the images almost look haunted. In this one, you can barely see the hand resting on the babe’s shoulder.

The picture is named Portrait of a dancer. The mask has been designed to be part of the photo. It is creepy but at the same intriguing.

During wartime, nobody felt safe at any time. Many would sleep in cages in case of a bombing they would at least have some shelter from falling debris.

You may not see too many photos like this where the man will literally pick his lover up in arms to give her a big smooth. It is romantic though.

Goats come in handy for a lot of things but to use them for a little goat drawn carriage is really a nifty idea.This took place in 1953 Salvador Dali.

It would not have been manly to crack a smile. But the eyes are used to create the expression and they work well.

A staged occurrence taken from the movie Rescue From The Eagles Nest, but it still keeps you staring at it.

Obviously an act but it looks like the levitator was able to get a member in the audience to lift right out of his seat. Yet it looks like he is being hoisted by guidewires. It is worth studying this one to see if you can decipher it.

No matter what war it is whatever works to preserve a soldier has to be utilized. All too often it was the brave horses that served them that became the brunt of the danger.

Diving costumes were not made for fashion, but every time somebody would put one on it made them look like a creature from the sea. It is enough to scare the fish.Maybe that was the point. This suit only dates back to 1911.

The canals of Venus are beautiful but they often need cleaning out and this is one of those times. Not an easy job.

Not only does she look prim and proper the bird does too. Wonder how difficult it is to get oneself perched up like this.

There could never be too many pictures of this beauty. This one comes from the Seven Year Itch in 1956.

There is nothing positive about wartime. Troops having to leave home was just one of the many brave acts. This youngster didn’t want any part of his dad leaving. This photo is called “Wait For Me Daddy” and was taken in 1949.

It is always nice to capture a first on an image. Just like the first woman runner for the Boston Marathon in 1967.

Watching the finished films is the ultimate but watching them being made can be just as exciting. This was no each piece of photo shooting.

Mental illness is not something that is new. Patients with mental illness at one time were all considered to be insane. In order to keep them calm and relaxed they would be wrapped like mummies.

This is what the cafeteria used to look like for staff at Disneyland years back. To them then this was state of the art.

Wax museums were a big attention-getter. Such as Madame Tussauds where people would come from all over to see this. When they are taken apart to be stored they look so lifelike that they creep out anyone that has to be around them.

The women who fought in the war should not be overlooked. There were some tough ladies that could handle those weapons just as good as the men.

It took a shocking photo such as this to turn the way AIDS was thought about back in 1989. The pain and suffering that is seen here as this Father comforts his dying son is one that remains in the minds of all those that see it.

What would Basketball be like if this man hadn’t lived? Or would there even be such a sport. Nice to reflect back on him once in a while.

This little chunk is just full of life and obviously very proud of keeping her footing on her roller skates. I hope she was able to keep that big smile once she made her first move.

Some of the best photos from the past are those that make a fashion statement. These two blend in so well together. Get the fur around her neck. Guess some animal wasn’t lucky enough to become her real partner.

If this was suppose to be fun then somebody forget to tell him because he looks absolutely horrified.

There were not the devices or the time to do much more when a limb needed to be removed. A little chloroform and a few people to hold the patient down is what was going to be involved in this procedure.

You would think these guys were taking a sewing class but actually, they are dissecting bodies as part of their medical class. Wonder when they get to use some instruments?

Maybe this is where the term for calling little ones little monkeys came from. Look at how well behaved all these little guys are as they follow their little leader.

Now, this takes guts. This doctor is operating on himself. Hope he doesn’t pass out because if he does he is going to bleed to death. Is it a matter of trust or a shortage of help?

There is nothing wrong with exotic pets and these two seem to be quite comfortable with each other. Not everybody’s cup of tea though.

Aside from the cigarette hanging out of his mouth, he looks older than his years and not impressed and neither his sidekick. This kid is a natural-born actor.

Some men were of few words back in the old days. No time to beat around the bush. So when they needed a wife they just would put up a sign. Obviously there was a shortage as the sign is in the plural.
