THE MOST POWERFUL HISTORICAL PICTURES

Floating House, 1920

We know what you are thinking. Is this a scene from the classic movie The Wizard of Oz? But no! This is a real-life image of something that actually happened. In a particularly huge flood in 1920, this house slid down the embankment and right into the water.

We are not sure how this was possible, but perhaps houses built in those days didn’t have as strong foundations to keep them rooted to the spot in case of extreme weather conditions.

However it happened, it makes for a truly astonishing photo.

The Mission Art Company, 1921

This looks like an image of some super tiny miniature people! But actually, this is just a real-life photo of regular sized people, standing next to their camera in 1921. Yes, that’s right—this picture shows the photographers from the Mission Art Company and their device—a camera built into a large truck.

This camera is so enormous that it looks like a joke or some sort of trick! But this is actually what it looked like in those days—certainly not something you could carry around in your pocket for selfies.
