I’ve always been amazed by families that somehow have photos of their great-grandparents’ wedding days or baby pics of their grandparents. I can’t even remember ever seeing a photo of my grandparents when they were younger than 50. But lucky for me, there are plenty of photographs floating around the internet that can give me a blast from the past when I’m looking to learn more about the history of our world.
We took a trip to the History Lovers Facebook page and gathered some of their most captivating pics down below. Some might make you nostalgic for a time period you never experienced, while others might make you appreciative of modern technology, but they’re certainly all entertaining. Enjoy scrolling through these photos, and be sure to upvote the ones that you’d like to have hanging on the wall in your home!
#41 Tomigiku, 1910s, Japan
During the years Taisho 10 and Taisho 11 (1921 and 1922), Tomigiku was one of the great beauties of Kyoto. With her long eyelashes, and watery eyes reflecting the light, it is said that she was worth her weight in gold. She turned heads wherever she went. If anyone walking around the Maruyama and Gion areas happened to catch a glimpse of her walking by, just the mere sight of her stopped them in their tracks, and they saw her on her way as someone seeing off a person of high rank or great fame
