Paris Acting Like Venice
When looking at this picture for the first time, you might even think that it was a prank or a shot for a movie set. This couldn’t be further from the truth. The shot was taken following the Great Flood of 1910, which saw many Parisian streets filled with water. Row Boats were used to transport stranded people from their homes to dry land, not dissimilar to what you would be likely to see in the canals of Venice in modern-day.

The Very British Cup of Tea
During a raid orchestrated by Hitler in 1940, England was bombed in what is now famously referred to as the London Blitz. Even back then, a good cup of tea was something that was particularly British. As the photograph shows, one woman was more than happy to finish her cup of tea in the midst of the rubble that was scattered all around her. Perhaps she was just happy to have made it out alive.
