Turning back the clock, from 2019 to 1838 is a total of 181 years. During those historical periods, the world witnessed countless momentous events such as Roald Amundsen's first landing at the South Pole, the outbreak of World War I and II, the sinking of the Titanic, the invention of the internet, and Vietnam's independence… If we temporarily set aside these momentous events, what did the world look like during those more than 180 years? There are plenty of images and documents about the Titanic's departure or the end of the world wars, but did people capture everyday events, like New York fashion in 1900 or Coca-Cola's first delivery of soft drinks by truck? If so, what did it all look like?
