In the just over 200 years since the medium of photography was invented, many important historical events have been immortalized in photographs. Some were taken by multiple photographers who knew something special would happen. However, others were captured by one photographer, simply in the right place at the right time. In contrast, the importance of others didn’t even become apparent until years or decades later, becoming uncovered historic photos.
From politicians and celebrities to normal citizens, these uncovered historic photos capture everything on the spectrum of the human experience, from seemingly innocent childhood moments to the horrors of war and death.
