Today, you have your seat ready on a train to the past, with some of the most touching, beautiful and intriguing moments of history. Call it modern-day time travel, since these days, most of us barely have time to sit back, relax and dwell on the wonders of human history.
But thanks to this Instagram account titled A Slice Of History, which is basically a visual collection of selected historical ‘slices’, we have a whole lot to uncover. Think of Michelle and Barack Obama giggling on their wedding day in 1992, or Freddie Mercury lovingly hugging Mary Austin, and a couple of male lovers captured on camera in a photobooth in 1953; there’s something eternally beautiful about these moments.
