Every picture tells as story. For that reason, each and every historical photo represents part of an invaluable record which we must preserve for the generations to come. Some of these photographs, of course, are more famous than others.
We put together a collection of 25 of the most unusual and rarely seen shots which you probably never knew existed. Each one provides a fascinating new perspective on the past.
