In 1826, Joseph Nicephore Niepce, a French inventor, came up with what forever changed the way we see, experience, and remember the world and its history. It was the birth of a camera that took the first photograph on a piece of paper coated with tar of the view from his window at Le Gras. Of course, it looked nothing even remotely similar to what we think of as a camera.

Many other photography inventions followed, each more wondrous than the previous one, but it was not until 1900 when people could put their hands on lightweight and portable cameras.

These early days of photography were not just the beginning of something bigger, but these attempts forever eternalized history with its people and their lives. “History Season” is one such illuminating Facebook page dedicated to sharing the great historical events captured in images.

From snaps of daily lives in the past to the most memorable moments of human history, below awaits a thrilling walk.

    “Photographs bring history to life in an immediate and visceral way,” Lisa Yaszek, a Regents Professor of Science Fiction Studies at Georgia Tech told us in a previous interview. Yaszek who researches and teaches science fiction as a global language crossing centuries, continents, and cultures argues that exploring history through written sources is very different than looking at historical photos.

     “When we read books, we get lots of detailed information about historical events: who was involved, where the event happened, what factors led to and resulted from it, and so on,” the professor argues.

    “Sometimes such information can be vividly detailed and prompt us to imagine what historical events might have looked like in ways that make us feel more connected to them, but sometimes we are so overwhelmed with dry or technical details that we actually feel more removed from the event than ever before.”

    On the other hand, photos rarely have this problem. “Even when shot by the most amateur of photographers, images of people living in and through various moments in history provide a sense of immediate emotional connection—we think, ‘wow, so that’s what it would feel like to experience that moment of history!’” Yaszek explained.

    Moreover, images of people from the past connect us to history in another, related way as well.  “Once we feel an emotional bond with the people in historical photos and perhaps even begin to imaginatively empathize with them—we forge new intellectual connections to history itself, asking ourselves: ‘Why are the people in this photograph in this situation in the first place? What happened leading up to this photo—and what happened afterward?’”

    In this way, we begin to actively research and share what they know about events and people represented in specific photos.

    Less than a month ago (Oct 29, 2022) it was reported that marine archaeologists in Sweden say they have found a 17th century warship that was the sister ship of the Vasa, a famed vessel that sank on its maiden voyage. A second, more thorough dive was made in the spring of 2022, and details were found that had so far only been seen in Vasa.

    I might be wrong or have the wrong ship, but I think Sweden went to war to build a Baltic sea empire and this ship was a one in a kind terrifying giant warship which was the pride of the Swedes. Another sunken "unsinkable" ship. I think it was destroyed by a cannonball or something going into the room where the gunpowder was stored...

    That ship is mind blowingly amazing! I’d love to see it in person some day. That was built more than 400 years ago, yet just look at the detail of it. Makes the ships of today look so….manufactured.

    Built between 1626-1628. So, almost 400 years ago, not more than. Doesn't make it any less impressive, though. Now, if only the King had the know how to design warships, or had the common sense to leave the designing up to those who DID have the know how.

After all, it was the Africans capturing Africans to sell to salvers on the shoreline, that kept the trade going for so long!

    I really admire the people of this time period, they had such Grit, Tenacity, and strong Values that helped them face, deal with, and overcome the obstacles they encountered in Life. Wish more people today were more like they were then.
