History, they say, is written by the victors and not the vanquished. However, the stories themselves are told by photographers because there can be no lying in a photograph, even if that photograph is black and white! The history of our gorgeous planet and our great species reminds us where we have been the impressive and terrifying things we have done. Since the invention and development of the camera, photographers have been following right beside, documenting everything from a country’s final public execution to the tearful loving goodbyes shared during times of war and crisis. These 15 black and white pictures depict real people of the past in every walk of life that have added color in some form or other to the future we are living now.
