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.

The Advent of Color

A gas pump outside a barn is pictured in this 1941 farm setting. A clothesline hangs from a nearby tree, while a horse drawn wagon is seen in the distance. With color photography becoming more popular in the 1940's, scenes like this one were more detailed and enhanced.
