Historical Newspaper Photos

[Warph]

The New York Times is not popularly known as a "picture paper." Pictures may be worth a thousand words, but the Times already has plenty of those.

But the truth is, the New York Times has included pictures since 1896 when it was an illustrated Sunday magazine. It also had a dedicated photography service, Wide World Photos.

Now you can relive some of the New York Times' best photos. They are posted regularly at The Lively Morgue. It's a blog site run by the New York Times.

From the epic to the ordinary, the 20th Century was full of stunning scenes, and photojournalists from the Times were there to capture many of them in high-res.
