History is often described as a living entity, comprised of moments that have been etched in time and have come to define the story of humanity. Yet, countless rare and seldom-seen moments often go unnoticed or forgotten within this grand narrative.
In this post, you'll see 20 remarkable historical images that shed light on these rarely-seen events. Each photograph serves as a portal to bygone eras, from the haunting remains of an ancient Roman city to the heart-pounding dogfight above St Paul's Cathedral during the Battle of Britain, and from the chilling mugshot and fingerprints of Benito Mussolini to the joyous chaos of a snowball fight in France in 1896.
