There is something mysterious about photos from the past. They always have a mesmerizing effect on us and make us watch them again and again, without any chance of ever getting bored.

You can learn so much about the past by looking at just one photo. While each of them tells its own story, it also reveals interesting facts about the period in which it was taken.

There are countless photos from the past, but considering how many social media projects have been committed to them, you'd think you'd already seen them all by now. Especially those of our favorites - celebrities.
