Some interesting feeds on Twitter and the like that have some ace Historical pictures. Worth a thread to throw a few up. Can't guarantee they are all 100% accurate but most seem to be.

Oooh you could do a thread like this and call it Iconic Images!

 

Nah, that sounds like a thread a gay would start.

 

Besides, I'm not really looking for ' iconic ' images like say the guy who walked in front of the tank in China. Everyone has seen that before. Strangely enough, I've never seen that picture of the Hindenburg. I didn't know it was captured on camera.

In 1924, Pennsylvania Governor Gifford Pinchot allegedly sentenced Pep "The Cat-Murdering Dog" (an actual dog) to a life sentence at Eastern State. Pep allegedly murdered the governor’s wife’s cherished cat. Prison records reflect that Pep was assigned an inmate number (no. C2559), which is seen in his mug shot. However, the reason for Pep’s incarceration remains a subject of some debate. A contemporary newspaper article reported that the governor donated his own dog to the prison to increase inmate morale
