Nurith Nupur‘A photograph is worth a thousand words’ goes the saying, which is more than apt for pictures from the past. Pictures from history vary weight that is indescribable in words. They capture the very essence of the moment and feeling of the people present in that photograph. It’s almost as if we are transported to that very moment in time. Here is a collection of rare pictures from history that will transport you through time.
#1 His Final Hours
This image is of Lewis Payne, co-conspirator to the assassination of President Lincoln, just before to his execution in 1865. In history class we are often told of John Wilkes Booth, however the men wanted to kill President Lincoln, Vice President Andrew Johnson (which didn’t happen), General Ulysses S, Grant (which also didn’t happen), and William H. Seward (which was attempted by Payne, but was thankfully unsuccessful) to cripple the Government.
