Unedited versions of legendary photos

Most of us know these pictures from their retouched or cropped version, or have seen versions of the pictures taken from a different angle. So let's take a look at what these photos were originally like.

The Unknown Rebel or Tank Man is the code name by which the man who single-handedly held back a column of tanks for half an hour during the Tiananmen Square riots on June 5, 1989 became known. His most famous photograph was taken by Jeff Winder of the Associated Press from the sixth floor of the Beijing Hotel. It shows a man standing unarmed in front of a column of Type 59 tanks. The man gained worldwide fame thanks to photographs and videos taken during the incident.

Guerillo Heroico is a famous photograph of revolutionary Che Guevara in his ever-present black beret. Photo taken by Alberto Corda in Havana, March 5, 1960, during a memorial service for the victims of the La Coubre bombing. Korda wrote that he was then attracted by Che’s face, which expressed absolute inflexibility, anger and pain. Then the revolutionary was 31 years old.

Korda remained a Marxist and supporter of the Cuban revolution until his death, and never demanded remuneration for his famous photograph. It was reproduced in hundreds of different ways, but Korda did not receive, nor did he demand, money for its use. The refusal to pay made this photograph an absolute symbol of the Marxist revolution and the fight against imperialism.

Million Dollar Quartet. This is the name of a joint jam session between Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash. Behind the keys is Marilyn Knowles-Real, Elvis's girlfriend. Photo taken at Sun Record Studios in Memphis, Tennessee, December 4, 1956.

Ty Cobb is at third base. Charlie Conlon has taken thousands of photographs of major league baseball players, and this is one of the most famous. It was taken on July 23, 1910 at Hilltop Park.

Loch Ness monster. This photograph is considered to be the first photograph of the Loch Ness Monster. Its author is believed to be Robert Kenneth Wilson, but Wilson refused to publish his name under the photograph in the Daily Mail on April 21, 1934.

Shooting for the cover of The Beatles' eighth album, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Standing alone on the right is Hitler, who has been excluded from being featured on the cover. The collage contained 70 celebrities: musicians, writers, movie stars and (at Harrison's request) Indian gurus. Lennon requested the presence of Adolf Hitler and Jesus Christ, but they were not included in the final version.

Raising the flag over Iwo Jima. On February 23, 1945, Joe Rosenthal captured five Marines and a Navy medic raising the flag over Iwo Jima. The photo became extremely popular, being reprinted in thousands of publications. It later became the only photograph to win the Pulitzer Prize for Photography in the same year it was published, and has come to be regarded in the United States as one of the most significant and recognizable images of the war, as well as perhaps the most reproduced photograph of all time. .

Of the six men shown in the photograph, three (Franklin Sousley, Garlon Block and Michael Strunk) were killed during the battle; the three survivors (John Bradley, Rene Gagnon and Ira Hayes) became celebrities after their identities were identified through photographs. The photograph was later used by sculptor Felix de Weldon to create the Marine Corps Memorial located adjacent to Arlington National Cemetery.
