Lost images: Vitamin D fixes in the USSR, Soldiers and Local Girls and Arabian Days
National Geographic’s archives are a treasure-trove of memories from around the world.
ICONIC MAGAZINE National Geographic is marking its 125th birthday this year and as part of the celebrations they are sharing never-published and barely seen photographs from around the world.
The Found Tumblr hopes to “bring new life to these images” as “their beauty has been lost to the outside world for years”.
Many of the pictures are missing dates and locations, so the people behind the blog are hoping members of the public will be able to provide fresh insights.
From Scottish boys playing on a see-saw to miners in West Virginia and service women in the beauty parlour to peasant women in traditional Hungarian clothing, the collection is one readers can get totally lost in.
