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.

Human Liberty Bell

Recently I was sent an e-mail with a picture of the Human Statue of Liberty. A little research on my part produced an interesting collection of human pictures photographed during World War I for the purpose of promoting the sale of War Bonds. The above photo shows 25000 soldiers and officers at Camp Dix, New Jersey in 1918.
