Photographs have long been used to record special and unique moments – birthdays, weddings and etc. But these next 30 photographs (post will be splitted into 3 parts) go beyond the norm – they encapsulate the mood, tone and values of yesteryear, a compelling account of the evolution of our values if you will.

I find them all really powerful and enthralling!

Hope you enjoy
