Holy shit! that's fucking brutal Its hard to believe that this photo exists it is like a renaissance painting almost too perfect in its framing of something so macabre and horrific. I'm going to see if I can colourize that.
Not sure if this counts as a historical photograph, it doesn't depict any particular event but its from a series about the Thatcher years of the late seventies and eighties.
"When Margaret Thatcher came to power in 1979, business was empowered and labor was belittled. To capture the heroes and victims of Thatcherism and globalization, Griffin invented a new photographic style, Capitalist Realism, parodying Socialist Realism. Griffin’s photographs embody the essence of the decade, modish white-collars, rock bands suited up in business-casual and tin lunch-pail toting masons. Inspired by the bureaucratic and claustrophobic world of Kafka, by the French filmmaker Jacques Tati and by German Expressionist cinema."

Finnish soldiers raising the State flag between Finland, Norway, and Sweden after the end of the Lapland War on April 27, 1945.
This guy was a genius. It's amazing the color temperatures he could get with no modern equipment.
Image tax, same dude:
1910 or whatever.
It looks like it was yesterday.
Look at these melons in Uzbekibekistan or whatever. Again, the usual attribution of 1905-15, nobody really knows when he took all these.

RGB Filter. The photographer took black and white negatives through Red Green Blue. Project theme together like the album of the dark side of the moon with the rainbow coming out of the prism
Also if I'm not mistaken, the Ummayads were quite fascinated with Greece and Rome.
The Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914 - 1917)
Out of all the polar expeditions this is my favorite one. Not only because this was the last big challenge of the Heroic Age (both poles already conquered), but also because despite failing, it was an incredible success. Shackleton and his men tried to cross Antarctica from sea to sea. Their ship sunk early on, yet they managed to get through the most dangerous part of the ocean - the Drake Passage - in a small open boat and subsequently crossed South Georgia's mountain range on foot and without any equipment, both of which should have been close to impossible. The other half of the party survived on the Elephant island, which is a piece of stone and ice in the middle of the ocean, for several months, despite having little to no hope of ever being rescued.

This is Willy, who was the first person to be photographed smiling.
Winston Churchill firing an M1 Carbine during a visit to the U.S. 2nd Armored Division on Salisbury Plain, March 23, 1944.
He actually had a really big gun collection, like American gun nut level. He was a /k/ommando before it existed.
Image tax: Winston Churchill with a Tommy gun.
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta. Looks like he's gonna go St. Valentine's Day on some muthas.
He reminds me of Ian Smith.

He later moved to the states and opened a shop and i assume would get harrassed by bleeding heart types.
I've been searching forever for a picture of what i remember being a specialized american soldier in vietnam treading through water holding a suppressed AR-7 above his head.
Maybe it wasn't an American soldier.

In November 1920, one body of an unknown British soldier was exhumed from each of the main WW1 battlefields - Somme, Aisne, Arras and Ypres - and transported to a chapel at Saint-Pol-sur-Ternoise in Northern France. Here, a British General randomly selected one of the four bodies. The remaining three were reburried. A French Honor Guard stood by the coffin overnight and the next day a plate was placed on top of it with the inscription: "A British Warrior who fell in the GREAT WAR 1914-1918 for King and Country". Then it traveled to the Victoria station and from there to its final destination in Westminster Abbey, to represent half a million bodies of British soldiers that were never identified.
