"It is a mistake to think that the past is dead. Nothing that has ever happened is quite without influence at this moment," said Will Durant, a famous American writer and historian, and we have no doubt that he’s right.

The 16 historical pictures before you are exactly like this - some of them tell a great historical story, some of them present small moments of everyday life of people around the world, but all of them together will create in you a nostalgic longing for the past, along with thoughts about the reality we live in today and the future to come.
