40 retrofit showing how strange the world was before
It seems that today we live in a crazy world, but — believe it or not — we have always lived in a crazy world. Judging by these photos taken in the distant (not very distant) past, the world was even weirder, as the people who lived in it. Let the selfies and cats in tights seem strange to those who will live after us, years after 100-200, and today we are surprised by the strangeness of those who lived before us.
