It's ok, they don't have to be colourised. If anyone wants to go further back in time and post artworks depicting ancient civilisations, that would be okay as long as they're accurate.
I like this one.

Chicago World's Columbian Exposition (World Fair), 1893

Interesting note, every building in this pic is made out of wood, it was only temporary, but the fair lasted about 6 months.

Theres a great documentary on it, narrated by Gene Wilder

lanky lincoln for good measure.

The Johnstown Flood occurred on May 31, 1889, after the catastrophic failure of the South Fork Dam on the Little Conemaugh River 14 miles (23 km) upstream of the town of Johnstown, Pennsylvania.
The dam broke after several days of extremely heavy rainfall, releasing 20 million tons (18 million cubic meters) of water from the reservoir known as Lake Conemaugh.
With a volumetric flow rate that temporarily equalled that of the Mississippi River,[2] the flood killed 2,209 people[3] and caused US$17 million of damage (about $450 million in 2015 dollars).

>Does anyone else wish that we could go back to having our own unique dress instead of being americanised? or am I just autistic?
not on a day to day basis, but at certain holidays it would be nice to see everyone honoring their culture by wearing traditional garbs.

Suit and tie is just so bland.

I lied it was June 13, Pictured is the only sports photo to ever win a Pulitzer Prize for Photography.

It was a gloomy dismal day in New York. June 13, 1948. The day that Babe Ruth announced his retirement to the Yankees due to illness. George Herman ‘Babe’ Ruth would die two months after this photo was taken. The day was not only his last day in uniform but also the 25th anniversary of Yankee Stadium, the House that Ruth built. It was also the day that the number three, Babe Ruth’s number, was retired along with him. Thin and frail as a result of a long illness, Ruth emerged from the dugout into “the caldron of sound he must have known better than any other man” (W.C. Hines, U.S. Sun).

>ywn build your own little hobbit hole during WW1, going out every morning for guard duty, greeting the chaps, sitting on your porch while sipping some tea, mocking fritz for overshoting with their artillery again

Those genuinely look comfy.

speaking of WW1, this is a great pic, it captivates so many aspects of ww1 in one pic.

okay, less american cities, more european shitholes.
