A picture might be worth a thousand words but National Geographic photos leave us speechless. Known for their captivating daily pictures, they also offer an opportunity to dive into the photo archives of previously unpublished or forgotten works.

The project called Found was established in 2013 to honor NatGeo's 125th anniversary. The project's team says that their mission is to bring the stunning pictures back to life by sharing them with new audiences. And even some of the dates or locations are missing, the interesting photos capture perfect moments making them timeless.

These amazing photos are dug up by Guardian of the Collection William Bonner, who still finds them highly inspiring even after years spent in the archives. Together with editor Janna Dotschkal's love for aesthetics, they make the vintage material shine as new.

I think this picture as taken at Kew Gardens. I have seen these a number of years ago, truly magnificent water lilies and would be strong enough to hold kitty's weight without any distress to the lily.

    This "protocol" is typical of the lunacy endemic in the British forces well into the 60's. Perhaps it continues today. I don t know for I was discharged in 1969. On active service in the Middle East in 1968 I was a Police Dog Handler guarding airfields, aircraft and munitions depots during the night. If I was approached or disturbed an intruder, I had to shout, "Halt, who goes there?" Wait for response. "Halt who goes there?" Wait for response. "Halt or I'll release my dog." Wait for response. On the lack of a third response I was allowed to release my dog. - At that time I could also take out my S&W 6 round revolver - take out the wooden block containing 6 bullets from my pouch - crack the plastic screwed onto the block over the bullets - load my revolver - and then shout "Halt who goes there?" Wait... - well you know what comes next...

    You guys he probably just locked his knees, it's a common issue in the military also. My husband ( a former Marine) said it happens all the time, while standing at attention if you lock your knees you are guaranteed to pass out

    WW2 was eight years away at that point and life stayed more or less livable in many rural areas in the Netherlands. Cities and especially Rotterdam suffered far more from the German invasion. By the end of the war, when most of Europe was freed, The Dutch suffered a terrible winter with a lot of hardship and hunger.

    Wow. Brings to mind the body modifications of our modern American kids. The "welts" look somewhat like cowry shells - is it the same technique, I wonder, of inserting something under the skin to create the "welt", that we use today, or is it another method? Sure would like to know the back story on this one. Fascinating.

    KristenHdz, I thought a barbed hook was used to pop out the skin, making it pucker. But then I searched scarification and found this on Wikipedia. Packing "is uncommon in the West, but has traditionally been used in Africa. A cut is made diagonally and an inert material such as clay or ash is packed into the wound; massive hypertrophic scars are formed during healing as the wound pushes out the substance that had been inserted into the wound."

    Found at reddit: Cross post from r/historyporn. I found this picture on a Facebook group. An individual left a comment saying that he showed the photo another legendary tattoo artist named Crazy Philadelphia Eddie, who said that the above photo is "Coleman from Norfolk". Cap Coleman operated the shop from 1918 until June of 1950 when the city of Norfolk outlawed tattooing and Cap moved across the river to Portsmouth, VA. Cap Coleman died in 1973. Another thing: sailors need authorization to get a tattoo. One commentator complained he never got an authorization in all his career in the Navy.

    The same reason that doctors used to smoke in their consultation rooms and you could smoke on wards.

    Probably growing it for our state fair. Usually the cabbages are in the 110 - 125 pound range. Except a few years ago someone here broke the world record with one that was 138 lb. Crazy.

    I lived in Alaska for a while and the state fair there is something different. It's quite common for vegetables to grow this big because the sun doesn't go down in the summer!
