Nikola Tesla in His Lab, 1899
When we hear “Tesla,” most of us immediately think of sleek electric cars. But the original Tesla—Nikola Tesla, the brilliant American-Serbian inventor—was a true visionary who dedicated his life to exploring the boundaries of energy. This striking photo is actually a composite of two images: one showcasing electric bolts crackling in the background, and the other featuring Tesla sitting calmly, as if he’s casually reading the morning paper. Despite the illusion, the image perfectly encapsulates both the raw power of his groundbreaking inventions and the bold eccentricity of his genius.

Macy’s Day Parade, 1931
The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has become one of the most iconic and beloved holiday traditions. Can you even imagine Thanksgiving without it? Take a look at this fascinating photo from 1931, when the parade was still in its infancy, running for fewer than ten years. The grandeur and spectacle captured in this image are truly remarkable. While today’s parade remains a dazzling display, there’s a certain charm and magic in these early years that’s hard to replicate.
