What did the real Ronald McDonald look like? How many people were at Woodstock in 1969? What did Tesla do in his laboratory? Can you ride a hippo? About this and much more - in our selection of historical photographs.

Our history is rich in interesting moments that can remain in the past forever. However, thanks to such an amazing invention as a camera, future generations can see how their ancestors lived, what happened on their land, what fashion was, etc. These black and white vintage photographs will show you different moments from the past - small and important, funny and sad, interesting and maybe not so much. But all of them were made there, in the distant and not very past, which is now available to us only through photographs and memories.
