Often, history feels distant - a collection of names and dates. But sometimes, a single image can bridge the gap. This collection of 17 historical photos includes a variety of images that illustrate remarkable events and everyday life from bygone eras. These windows to forgotten times showcase everything from a Parisian illusionist's ghostly companion (1863) to Victorian mountaineers, including a lady fully dressed and corseted, crossing a crevasse in the Alps in 1900.

Check out the full collection below to experience history like never before.
