I like lists. Maybe too much. I’ve spent hours digging through the archives of listverse.com. Digging for more list sites, I found this great post at smashinglists.com with 25 fantastic images, several I hadn’t seen before.
The name of this website just about sums it up. A great old photo daily. There are also lots of interesting collections at www.old-picture.com.
1927 - The clinging vine
Nude woman, full-length, standing, facing right, holding flower vine and looking downward.

1902 - The Rialto and Grand Canal, Venice, Italy
I’ve had a lot of Italian visitors lately and thought I’d post a possibly familiar site. (Ponte Di Rialto)

1906 - Around the May pole, E.W. Kelley (Berry, Kelley & Chadwick)
This image was somewhat damaged with faded areas, which is why it looks kind of flashy. I chose it mainly because it’s cute, and the variety of colors it would use for the time lapse. I also went to video with the time lapse, the gif just takes too much space and load time. View the lapse below.
1865-71 - Falls of Minne-ha-ha and rustic bridge / J. Carbutt, photographer, Chicago, Illinois.

Note that I am in no way supporting any of the subjects in these images. They were chosen because they are historically interesting, and in some cases very sad.
