A grab bag of interesting, seldom-seen historic images depicting myriad people, places, and things—from epic achievements to small moments. Taylor says: While doing my job of researching photos for various stories, I come across more interesting images than I need, remarkable, strange, hilarious, or just great shots. I tuck the best of those into a folder without a clear plan for future use. I offer a sampling from that folder—a grab bag of historic images depicting land-speed records, underwater photography, Italian elections, a young Princess Elizabeth, a streamlined ferry, and more—from epic achievements to small moments. There isn’t really a theme here. This is part of an ongoing series of collections of interesting photos from the past. Weird, Wonderful Photos From the Archives.'
