50 Iconic and Rare Historical Photographs

We at HistoryColored have decided to curate 50 interesting, rare and iconic photos from history. There are many reasons why a photograph may be featured on this list. Some of the reasons include: it was the first time something was ever captured on camera, it shows a famous figure from history, the image depicts an important historical event, it is a “rare” photo that does not get shared as much as it should, or it is an “iconic” historical photo. It may not fall under any of these categories but can still be featured in this list for a different reason.

These photographs are in no particular order. They have been curated and added to the list over a long period of time, so no decision was taken on how they should be ordered. Be sure to take the time to check out every historical photograph featured on this list!

Amber has arrived! This morning, a kind soul saw her in a ditch in Lancaster County, South Carolina, a gray beauty torn apart by hideous brutality. Amber’s face was a terrible mess of bruises, infected beyond measure, necessitating quick reconstructive surgery.

Her nasal canal was torn as a result of the cruelty she was subjected to, leaving her gasping for air. Her suffering was compounded by a broken jaw and displaced teeth, and her once perfect nose was now torn apart. Due to the severity of her injuries, the medical team had to sedate her to perform a CT scan, which was unprecedented in their experience.

Amber, who was just two years old, had her whole life ahead of her despite her small body and severe malnutrition. She was sedated daily for nearly five days as committed specialists worked tirelessly to give her a new lease on life. Amber’s face has been repaired and her nasal passages cleared as a result of their steadfast commitment, but the swelling serves as a reminder of her grief.

Her beautiful demeanor was unaffected, a monument to her fortitude in the face of tragedy. Amber showed tremendous courage and love as she healed and faced the hardships of heartworm treatment and sterilization.

She relaxed after a filling lunch and finally cuddled into her blanket for a restful night’s sleep. Today, she went for a walk in her new neighborhood under the warm sunshine with her new siblings, Jack and Alice, clear evidence that she has found comfort and security in her new home.

Amber would like to express her deep gratitude to all of her amazing friends who supported her journey, thought of her as she embarked on her path to a better life, and loved her unconditionally.
