Nice to see a well dressed crowd at a ball game in 1912. Before the collapse of civilization, long before.

I’d go back in time to 1912 in a minute if I could bring along a supply of modern medicines.

The photo of Osama. Do you mean second from left? The second from right looks like a girl.

Great photographs by the way. Poor Czar Nicholas. I wonder if he had any idea at that moment what would become of him and his family.

The good old days when the Republican party still existed and we didn’t have a communist foreigner as POTUS and didn’t pay terrorists $100,000 in welfare.

Charles Guiteau looks like Charles Manson.

The 1980 Child Laborers sure make me feel old.

[detective]

I don’t think the picture of the child laborers was from 1980.

[JRandomFreeper]

Yep. That's what I looked like in 1980. I had a nice hat, though.

1980 Child Laborers:

That pic looks a bit older than 1980.

[LaybackLenny]

My personal favorite is the “1980 child laborers”. The Carter administration was far worse than we ever imagined. ;)

[Viennacon]

Yes. Something not quite right with that one. Where’s the hair spray?

Thanks for posting!

"The photo of Osama. Do you mean second from left? The second from right looks like a girl."

I'm only going by the text included w/ the photo...so can't be certain. That "earring" I think is on the building in the background.

Sorry, 1880
