7 Photos Witnesses Of History
History has given us priceless snapshots, portraits of the best and the worst we have been capable of. Photos which are the drawing of curious moments which later, in the eyes of history, will be of inestimable importance. Thanks to them, we can partly know what the most important personalities were before they became known faces or what a reflection a war leaves on the faces of the people who suffer from it.
It is also thanks to her that we have been able to freeze moments that are unique in their time, such as the last Beatles concert on a roof in London at the end of the 60s or the construction of the Eiffel Tower in 1880. We will show you 7 photographs which are a piece of history.
Bill Gates struggling
It seems that the Microsoft co-founder is one of the richest men in the world today. He also tested speed in his day, and not just for sharing computer files. Bill Gates’ great passion for cars led him to be arrested for traffic violations. And it was his partner Paul Allen who had to pay his deposit.
We see that we can be a philanthropist, committed, vegetarian and computer genius and be filed by the police. Here is the priceless shot.
The Rolling Stones at the beginning of their eternal youth
“Organic” yogurts are great, but it seems that in the phrase “old rockers never die” there is a more effective formula for keeping fit (apart from helping digestion). This group of young people has proven that passion, succumbing to easy pleasures and moving the hips is highly recommended, even after 50 years, given the results.
“The godfather”, a question of class
You can try to have class and style, but no matter how hard you try, that’s not how you will achieve it. Either you have it or you will look silly, even if you appear on magazine covers or have thousands of people following you on Instagram. Here is the photo of a lady and a gentleman, who have class and elegance as well on a movie set as outside.
You don’t have to believe in God for a miracle to happen to you
Miracles can happen to you without you needing to believe in God, or tell Stephen Hawking. In this photo from his wedding day, the British genius had already been sentenced to death by doctors, but he still had “little problems” to solve, such as black holes or the origin of time.
It seems that the miracle happened thanks to the support of his first wife, Jane Wilde, and to advances in science, because his motor neuron disease did not strike him down dramatically, even though his physical deterioration did lead to him. to a state of total immobility. His sense of humor and his continual scientific contributions made him an example of struggle without arousing compassion, but rather admiration.
To get to your destination, you’ll first have to build bridges
The Golden Gate or the famous San Francisco bridge that unites this city with Marin County has not always existed, even if it is today very emblematic. It took to build it and put in place the greatest engineering achievement of the time, in the 1930s.
An ideal postcard for many films and a place so iconic that it has attracted a large number of curious tourists and it has also been the place chosen by more than 1,600 people to end their lives. In 2014, a steel barrier was built to put an end to this sad and grotesque fact.
Kennedy was hiding behind Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe, arguably the most famous woman in history. Many wanted to confine her to the role of woman object, but her history and her intellectual rebellion only adds mystery and a desire to know all the details of this woman to whom some attribute an intellectual coefficient higher than that of Einstein.
She possessed an irresistible capacity for interpretation, but she was best known as the explosive blonde who had an affair with John Kennedy. Seeing this photo, we say to ourselves that it is curious as she seems to be the main protagonist of her life, even if we could only really judge in retrospect.
And finally, Hachiko, because we will never forget her
We end with this dive into the past with key photos with a dog, but not just any one. He was the protagonist of the story that can make us cry when we read it, when it is told in film or simply by looking at this photo.
This dog and loyalty to his master seem to cause tears in a timeless and universal way. The photographs thus have the effect of capturing moments by perpetuating feelings.
Our thoughts Sometimes we feel nostalgia, and we suffer for something that has already happened, that we had and that we lost.
