Dogs are human’s best friends, now and in the vintage years! You can already find plenty of classic cuties on here, but I wanted to start compiling some. Unless the photo has a special background or theme, the ivintage dogs will be compiled in this post for now on!

Some might ask why there is a photo of a diver enjoying a pickle in front of a fire engine. Just embrace it.
“High diver Beatrice Kyle, standing by the wheel of fire engine, in high driving outfit, holding a pickle, between acts at the Society Circus at Fort Myer, Virginia; for the benefit of the Army Relief Fund; Apr. 25, 1924.”

The source labels this as Sydney Oddities, which I think refers to a collection of odd images by the photographer Ray Olsen. Mannequins are creepy and uncanny, so very fitting.

Moon photographs from the 1860s! That is over 150 years ago! The first camera was only invented 40s year earlier. Vintage astronomy, very rad. The photographer was George Washington Wilson(1823-1893) – a pioneer in photography. He created techniques for outdoor picture taking and the mass production of prints.
Bonus picture is of Wilson with his cute dog!

These adorable images were taken between 1900 to 1950. All the cuteness was photographed by Sam Hood (1872-1953), whom enjoyed maritime related things. Vintage dogs and cats mostly – with bonus kangaroo and monkey!

Charles Marville captured this amazing photograph of the roof and spires of Notre Dame. The Notre Dame is located in Paris, France. It is a well known Medieval Cathedral due to its extraordinary Gothic style architecture. This photo is unique for two reasons – its age and perspective.

This photo was taken some time between 1910 and 1925. The creator is unknown. Who would had known a flower x-ray could be so lovely.
“After X-rays were discovered in 1895, they soon came to be applied in photography. X-radiographs made visible what was concealed to the human eye. They served primarily useful purposes, such as revealing fractures. This photograph, however, was probably taken simply for its sheer beauty. The petals hardly absorbed the X-rays, which is why they look so transparent and ethereal in the photograph.” – Image description.
Makes me wonder how many other flower x-rays are out there! Might have to do a bit of digging for more.

These Arthropods were collected by Dr. Hannes Grobe. Although insects and scorpions are both arthropods, scorpions are within the class arachnids – like spiders. Insects are classified as ‘insecta’.

The Great Comet of 1882 was bright enough to be visible next to the Sun in the daytime sky. This photograph is one of very few capturing this fantastic moment. Read more about the Great Comet of 1882 at Wikipedia.
