Thread of historical photos you've (probably) never seen before 🧵

1. A wheat field in Manhattan, 1982

2. Oppenheimer and Einstein, 1947

This photo by A. Eisenstaedt shows Robert Oppenheimer in conversation with Albert Einstein, immortalizing the meeting of two of the most influential figures in 20th-century physics.

The colorization gives the moment an almost tangible feel.

Bridges is now 70 years old.

Situated in the center of Milan, it is Italy’s oldest active shopping gallery.

It is named in honor of Victor Emmanuel II, the first king of the Kingdom of Italy.
