It can often feel very hard to approach the past, with all its twists and turns, dates, names, locations and nonexistent nations. This is no reason to not learn more about history, since there are a lot of good lessons, interesting facts and important events. So one way to dip your toes is the recent past, as there are actually pictures and not just a handful of paintings if you’re lucky.

The “Very Old Pics” X Page is dedicated to interesting pictures from the past. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your own thoughts in the comments section below.

    In the grand scheme of things, photos are still “modern” since they’ve “only” been around since the 19th century. Even a hundred years after cameras, as we know them today, became mass produced, it was still a rather niche tool, as they were expensive, skill-intensive and one had to develop the film themselves.

    Only in the 90s, did digital cameras democratize photography since there was no longer any risk of ruining or wasting costly film. Now, of course, we all have excellent cameras in our pockets and it’s not at all unusual to take literally hundreds of pictures in a day, if one is so inclined.

    This is how progressives want to see working people after they've taxed the last red cent out of them to support your ilk.

    The saddest thing.... Our economy is pushing for a repeat of those desperate times when it was a roof or food, not both.

    I saw this photo in a compilation on YouTube just yesterday and was thinking, that little girl is/was about the same age as my mother (born in 1930) and the only major difference was that mom's family was from Georgia and lived on a farm.
