Photographs are time machines. They allow us to look back in history, freeze a moment in time, and imagine ourselves as part of the past.

Through photographs we can see how famous and ordinary peoples appeared in both posed and unguarded moments.  We can relive great events and everyday life in exquisite detail.  

The events of the nineteenth and twentieth centurys have been captured in billions of photographs.  Some are so familiar that they have come to stand for an event in its entirety.  Others surprise us with their beauty, power, or original point of view. 

You will find a great and growing number of restored, cleaned and remastered photographs right here.  All are rights managed for your convenience.

G1 | Gallery offers photography as art and of course as history.  In the end though it is our sincere hope that what we offer you is Enjoyment...
