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.

Helen Keller

The above image shows Helen Keller and her teacher Anne Sullivan taken in Brewster, Massachusetts on Cape Cod in July, 1888. The then 8 year old Keller is shown holding one of her many dolls, while seemingly being attentive towards Sullivan. The photo, which was discovered 120 years after it was originally shot, is believed by experts to be the earliest picture taken of Helen Keller.
