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.

Revealing Beauty


Florence Evelyn Nesbit, an American artists' model and chorus girl, is pictured in 1900 at the age of 16. Despite her striking beauty, this photographer's pose was probably considered excessively revealing in its' day.

Lovely photograph, but definitely not Evelyn Nesbit. Source: http://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/det1994006595/PP/
