There’s not much information about this 1912 photo.
Including the most important detail: did it work?
67. The Beast of Buchenwald
Ilse Koch was married to a concentration camp officer and committed
atrocities at the Buchenwald concentration camp. She was accused of
taking skin souvenirs from those who were killed in concentration camps
from prisoners who had interesting tattoos. She committed suicide in a
women’s prison in 1960.
Posing with the dead
It was quite common – especially in the Victorian era – for family members to pose with deceased family members.
Simone Segouin was an 18 year old French Rsistance fighter during
World War II. She had come from Chartres to help liberate Paris on
August 19, 1944.
Many animals were used during WWI on both fronts of the war. Since
horses and mules were vulnerable to poison gases, they were often
equipped with gas masks over their muzzles to protect them from inhaling
phosgene.
This famous image of an abandoned boy after the German bombing of London in 1945 was shot by Toni Frissell. The child sits alone in rubble outside of where his house used to be. The boy did later in fact survive the war.

During the Cold War, the American government sent “cultural ambassadors” to Third World countries that they worried might fall under Communist influence. They were meant to be exemplars of the cultural freedoms enjoyed in America. Armstrong was one such ambassador, and was sent to Egypt in 1961.
Soviet soldier feeds a polar bear
This real photo, taken in 1950 shows a Soviet patrolman handing a can of condensed milk to a polar bear sow while a playful cub embraces his leg. Soldiers stationed in the Chukchi Peninsula took pity on the many bears they shared the landscape with, who became emaciated during an especially cold winter. Condensed milk was plentiful, and the soldiers offered them as gifts to the hungry (and extremely dangerous) animals.

Circus hippo pulling a cart
Hippos were all the rage in the circus world. They were routinely featured as the focal point in acts back in the early 1900s.

During hectic times, people tend to bond with unlikely beings. Here, this soldier is trying to feed a starving animal after a recent battle took place.
Ad for anti-malaria drug in Papua New Guinea
Atabrine knows how to get straight to the point of a sales pitch. It is sort of like seeing an anti-smoking ad today.
Sun tan vending machines
Well, it looks simpler than going to a tanning booth. My only concern involves which areas of the body other people tried to tan.
Betty White at home with her dog
Taken during the 1950s, this is a young Betty White teaching her dog a
new trick. Amazingly, she has the same youthful energy to this day.
White, not the dog.
