The ‘Lost in History’ Instagram page is a project that is dedicated to showcasing rare modern historical photos. We’ve collected some of the most impactful ones to share with you, Pandas. The odds are that these images will give you a fresh new perspective on our recent past. You’ll find them as you scroll down.

At the time of writing, the ‘Lost in History’ social media project had 60.6k followers on its Instagram page. According to the founder of the page, the account focuses on sharing “the wonderful” fashion, makeup, people, and culture of the 20th century.

And it has been doing so since June 2016, when it was founded. However, the project also sometimes also features interesting photos from the 19th and 21st centuries as well.

Recent advances in technology mean that many of us have a smartphone with a powerful camera sitting in our pockets. This has made photography a very approachable form of art, when compared to two centuries ago.

However, despite this, some photographers—professionals and amateurs alike—still choose to take pictures the ‘old-fashioned’ way, with film.

"Sure, it [film photography] won't be used commercially, but artists will always find a way to keep a medium alive and I think that's great," Sberna said.

According to the expert, photographers should focus on what they genuinely want to do, when it comes to their work and how they share it with others, instead of bowing to social pressure.

#16 A V-Shaped Bed Invented In 1932, Supporting The Body Perfectly At Every Point And Thus Promotes Better Rest. When Unused The Bed Is Straight Like Every Other Bed. However, One Pull On A Chain At The Side Of The Bed Immediately Changes It To A V-Shape. Another Advantage Claimed For The Bed Is That The Covers Are Held Substantially Away From The Person, Thereby Allowing The Free Circulation Of Air To The Body

"Just do your thing. If you want to share your work, share your work. If not, keep it to yourself," he said that there is no one-size-fits-all approach. "I went to high school with a great photographer whose work I rarely saw. He didn't have any interest in sharing things on social media or online. At the end of the day, you need to do what you're comfortable with and what's best for you and your situation. If your goal is to show your work to a wider audience, over time you will get there by creating a following,” he urged photographers to do what’s right for them.

In 1922, A Group Of Scientists Went To The Toronto General Hospital Where Diabetic Children Were Kept In Wards, Often 50 Or More At A Time. Most Of Them Were Comatose And Dying From Diabetic Keto-Acidosis. Others Were Being Treated By Being Placed On An Extremely Strict Diet, Which Inevitably LED To Starvation. These Children Were Essentially In Their Death Beds, Awaiting What Was At That Time, Certain Death. The Scientists Moved Swiftly And Proceeded To Inject The Children With A New Purified Extract Of Insulin. As They Began To Inject The Last Comatose Child, The First One To Be Injected Began To Wake Up. Then One By One, All The Children Awoke From Their Diabetic Comas. A Room That Was Full Of Death And Gloom, Suddenly Became A Place Of Joy And Hope. In The Early 1920s, Frederick Banting And Charles Best Discovered Insulin Under John Macleod At The University Of Toronto. With The Help Of James Collip, Insulin Was Purified, Making It Available To Successfully Treat Diabetes. Both Banting And Macleod Earned Nobel Prizes For Their Work In 1923. In The Same Year, Banting, Collip, And Best Decided To Sell The Insulin Patent To The University Of Toronto For $1. Banting Famously Went On To Say, “Insulin Does Not Belong To Me, It Belongs To The World.”

No matter how impressive a historical photo might be, nobody should believe everything that they see blindly. It helps to have a healthy dose of skepticism. Some people manipulate photos for personal or political gain, others might want to make certain theories seem more reliable. The more important a news story or historical event, the more likely it is that someone might want their biased opinions to seem mainstream.

‘Deutsche Welle’ suggests checking the origin of the image before resharing it. You can use reverse image search tools for this if you suspect that a photo might have been tampered with.

There are also various tools available to check whether an image has been altered by looking at differences in pixel density. Of course, no online tool or program is perfect, but they’re better than nothing.

Danish Arctic Explorer Peter Freuchen With His First Wife, Navarana Mequpaluk In 1912. She Would Pass Away From The Spanish Flu In 1921.⁣ ⁣ Freuchen Went On To Participate In Several Arctic Explorations, One Including A 1,000 Mile Dogsled Trip Across Greenland. Freuchen Also Wrote More Than A Dozen Books (Fiction And Non-Fiction), Participated In The Danish Resistance Against Germany During World War 2 And Was Imprisoned By The Nazis And Sentenced To Death, But Managed To Escape To Sweden. He Eventually Came To Hollywood And Worked As A Consultant And Scriptwriter, But Also Starred In The Oscar Winning Movie "Eskimo" (1933). In 1956, He Won $64,000 On "The $64,000 Question", An American Quiz Show.⁣ ⁣ But Perhaps His Most Famous Feat Was Barely Escaping Death When He Once Got Trapped In A Snow Cave Due To The Warmth Generated By His Own Breath, Which Created An Impassable Frozen Crust That Blocked The Entrance.⁣ ⁣ He Writes About The Experience In One Of His Memoirs: “What A Way To Die…i Gave Up Once More And Let The Hours Pass Without Another Move. But I Recovered My Strength While I Rested And My Morale Improved. I Was Alive After All. I Had Not Eaten For Hours, But My Digestion Felt All Right. I Got A New Idea! I Had Often Seen Dog’s Dung In The Sled Track And Had Noticed That It Would Freeze As Solid As A Rock. Would Not The Cold Have The Same Effect On Human Discharge? Repulsive As The Thought Was, I Decided To Try The Experiment. I Moved My Bowels And From The Excrement I Managed To Fashion A Chisel-Like Instrument Which I Left To Freeze…i Was Patient. I Did Not Want To Risk Breaking My New Tool By Using It Too Soon…at Last I Decided To Try My Chisel And It Worked!”⁣ ⁣ While He Managed To Escape, He Was Forced To Amputate Several Of His Toes And Eventually Lost His Left Foot Entirely To Frostbite.⁣ ⁣ In 1957, Freuchen Died Of A Heart Attack

She Is The First Recorded Asymptomatic Carrier Of Typhoid, A Bacterial Infection That Is Spread By Eating Food Or Drinking Water That Has Been Contaminated With The Feces Of An Infected Person. Mallon Worked As A Cook In New York City From 1900 To 1907. During This Time, She Infected 51 People. One Family Hired A Typhoid Researcher By The Name Of George Soper Who Believed Mallon Was The Reason For The Outbreaks. He Was Able To Finally Track Her Down And Notified Her That She May Be Unknowingly Spreading The Disease. When He Asked If He Could Collect Her Urine And Stool Samples, Mallon Refused. Soper Even Told Her That He Would Write A Book And Give Her All The Royalties. She Still Refused. In 1907, Mallon Was Forced Into Quarantine At A Hospital On North Brother Island In New York, Located On The East River Between The Bronx And Rikers Island. In 1910, She Was Released Under The Condition That She Change Her Occupation. Upon Her Release, Mallon Began Working As A Laundress Which Paid Less Than Cooking. She Did That For Several Years Until She Decided To Change Her Name To Mary Brown And Go Into Cooking Again.
