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.

Hey Kids, What Time Is It?

It's Howdy Doody Time! The Howdy Doody Show, one of the most popular children's programs during the advent of television, began to air in 1947 and enjoyed a successful run until 1960. Master puppeteer Bob Smith both voiced Howdy and hosted the Saturday morning program, which featured a children's bleacher section on the stage known as the peanut gallery.
