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.

NOTE:
You may click any picture in this blog to view it on its' own screen.

The Great Wall of China

The Great Wall of China, a portion of which is seen in this 1907 photograph, was built between the 5th Century BC and the 16th Century to protect the northern border from attacks during various dynasties. The total length of the wall is 4000 miles.
