From the first paranormal photographer to the last samurais of the 1800s, here are ten amazing historical photographs that will blow your mind!

10: Disfigured by War
This incredible photograph was taken of a Slovenian anti-fascist resistant fighter named Albina Mali-Hocevar. Albina lived between 1925 and 2001 and was wounded three times in combat while fighting to liberate Yugoslavia from between 1941 and 1944.

9: The First Human Being Photographed
This triumphant photograph is from Paris back in 1838 by a man named Louis Daguerre. It's the first photograph ever taken to include a recognizable person. You can see the human standing at the very bottom left of the photograph, on the pavement where the road curves.

8: Photos of Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States. He was also the first US President to be extensively photographed. Today we're used to seeing the president all over our phones and TVs. But it never used to be like that.

7: Photographs of War
We see images of modern warfare every day on our TV screens. Some people say we've seen so much of it that we've become desensitized. But did you know that the first photographs of war came from 3 wars all fought within a short period of just 18 years?

6: Medical History
Speaking of horrible, before the invention of anesthesia, getting surgery was a pretty nasty business. Just during the 1830s, surgery was a miserable and painful affair that involved smoking a lot of opium and drinking a lot of whiskey.

5: The Spirit Photographer
William Mumler was the great spirit photographer of the 1860s. William took his first spirit photo in 1861 by accident. It happened after he took a portrait of himself and noticed the strange image of another person behind him.

4: Leatherman the Vagabond
Creepy photographs from near the 1860s show what life was like for nomads in early America. The star of this particular photograph is allegedly someone known as Leatherman the Vagabond.

3: The Last Samurai
Here are the historical photographs you’ve probably been waiting for! Before the 1800s, Japan was a country ruled by legitimate samurai. These were very real Japanese warriors. But the end of the 1800s saw the end of the samurai. Today, all we have left of these fabled warriors are old photographs, the last of which were taken between 1863 and 1900.

2: The Reindeer in Murmansk
By far the most striking historical image from World War Two is the reindeer in Murmansk. The picture shows a gorgeous reindeer startled by bombs being dropped across the land. The photograph was taken by a famous Soviet photographer, and to this day it is one of the most visceral wartime photographs ever taken.

1: The Oldest Selfie
This photograph is the oldest selfie in human history. I don't need to explain to anyone what a selfie is. Even the oldest grandmother on earth knows what a selfie is and probably how to take one. But people were doing it far before Facebook!

The picture of Hocevar isn’t how she looked before and after the war. The scar picture is her actual picture, the other one is how she MIGHT have looked.

A favorite of mine was by accident: our daughter, around 1yo had scribbled orange crayon all over the wall. I took a pic to send to her dad and then realized it caught her little shadow on the wall with the scribbles, her curls, diaper, binky and even crayon in hand. There was no mistaking the culprit lol.

That first girl is an incredible, inspirational hero.
I'm so glad that she was acknowledged for her bravery and dedication.
I'm glad she wore her scars with pride.
Every scar has a story. Tell it. Life is too short to hide behind them. Show them off proudly.
Alot of ancestors did. They hid away if they didn't.
Diversity, is Beautiful.
Being beige is boring.

The picture of the girl is supposed to be "before and after being injured" ..yet it is the same exact picture, same exact hair, same exact makes no sense to me.

The "paranormal" photos are from the 1860s, not the 1960s...

In the video, you say 1961 but you said 1861 in the description. 🤷🏼‍♂️

A lot of comments are saying, the 2 photo of the disfigured young lady, is photoshop. And now I believe it was, my question, which one is the original? Did they disfigure her to make it look like she was a hero by putting her in a war? or was she even disfigured at all?

Obviously he meant 1869, not 1969., it was a mistake.

Number 10 you cannot take the beauty away from her even with the scars of war. She was beautiful after all she had been through as she was before she went to war. I don’t know many 16--year-olds today that would grab a rifle and go out to defend their country. They’re all too worried about not looking Instagram perfect so you know they won’t bother.
