We at HistoryColored have decided to curate 50 interesting, rare and iconic photos from history. There are many reasons why a photograph may be featured on this list. Some of the reasons include: it was the first time something was ever captured on camera, it shows a famous figure from history, the image depicts an important historical event, it is a “rare” photo that does not get shared as much as it should, or it is an “iconic” historical photo. It may not fall under any of these categories but can still be featured in this list for a different reason.
These photographs are in no particular order. They have been curated and added to the list over a long period of time, so no decision was taken on how they should be ordered. Be sure to take the time to check out every historical photograph featured on this list!

Elephant Gives Birth to Something Very Rare, Staff Sees The Baby & Immediately Screams!
Twin elephants’ birth in Amboseli National Park sparks conservation enthusiasm. Peru, a nearly forty-year-old elephant, had been striving to conceive to aid the local elephant population’s survival. Kenneth Ole Nashu, a seasoned conservationist, closely monitored her progress, recognizing the urgency for another calf to boost the herd’s chances.
Peru’s pregnancy faced challenges, as veterinary tests were limited, and her age raised concerns. When Peru showed distress, Nashu called for help due to the herd’s protective behavior.
Despite round-the-clock efforts, Peru’s illness remained a mystery until she unexpectedly gave birth to twins. While joyous, one calf had a serious wound, demanding immediate attention from the veterinary team, who tirelessly tended to it, ensuring its full recovery.
The birth of these rare twins fosters hope for the local elephant population and highlights Amboseli’s conservation efforts. Nashu and his protégé, Aziz, remain dedicated to their mission, ensuring the calves’ well-being and the protection of these magnificent creatures.
The twins’ story showcases the dedication and collaboration of those striving to safeguard endangered animals and their habitats, underscoring the importance of conservation efforts.
