The V-J Day Kiss
It was truly a moment of joy as the United States won Victory over Japan in the World War II. As and when it was announced that the U.S. defeated its opponent, a sailor just grabbed a random woman standing next to him in the crowd and surprisingly kissed her in the middle of Times Square at New York City on August 14th, 1945. The photographer who clicked this “Victory-Kiss” was Alfred Eisenstaedt. Luckily, he was so spontaneous in his work that he captured this moment in his camera.
Titanic Sank
This photo was a record breaker when on April 16th, 1912 a young newspaper boy named Ned Parfett was selling the copies of an evening newspaper which broke the news of Titanic sinking to the people. Everyone was sure that the ship can’t sink, and when it actually did, no one could wrap their heads around it.
Bravo Man
This quite petrifying picture is a piece of reality. When a single-pilot controlled plane was facing certain troubles, its pilot crawled out to fix the issue. He must be a brave-hearted man who dared to undertake such a deadly task. Not only this, who was the other one who flew beside him to take this picture and not help him instead.
Jimi Hendrix Last One
Jimi Hendrix is a popular figure. What made him popular was not only his songs, his music but also the fact that he died at a very early age and left the nation shocked. He passed away at an early age of 27 in 1970. What makes this photograph even more special is that it was the last picture that was clicked of him and just a few days after this he died an untimely death.
POW Confronting Heinrich Himmler
What makes this photo rare is that back in the 19th century, this POW stood right in front of Heinrich Himmler-who was a leading member of the Nazi Party. He stood there shirtless to portray his defiance to the Nazi leader while the other prisoners of his league sat there motionless. This POW Soldier depicted immense courage then.
Milkman On Duty
It’s my humble duty to provide milk as early as possible at every doorstep! This must have been the motivation this milkman must be carrying. He was on his milk delivery duty and he obediently fulfilled it despite the fact that London was facing The Blitz Attacks during September 1940 and May 1941. There was destruction all around but this milkman was all high-spirited.
