History Thru The Lens

Welcome to my blog site!

My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

Mt. Rushmore

Sculptor Gutzon Borglum's model of the planned final design of Mt. Rushmore is shown in this 1936 photo. While construction of the national landmark, which is located in the Black Hills of South Dakota, began in 1927, it was halted for lack of funds in 1941, resulting in its' current scaled back version.
