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.

Grace Kelly


Leigh Wiener's photograph of American film actress Grace Kelly outlines her enriched beauty. Born Grace Patricia Kelly in Philadelphia on November 12, 1929, she would enjoy a very successful acting career. That would all change on April 19, 1956 when she married Prince Rainier III of Monaco and became Princess Grace of Monaco. The couple would have three children, Princess Caroline, Prince Albert, and Princess Stephanie. On September 13, 1982, while driving back to Monaco with her daughter Princess Stephanie, Princess Grace suffered a stroke and lost control of her vehicle. While her youngest daughter survived her injuries, Princess Grace of Monaco succumbed at the age of 53.
