by Filip

There is something mysterious about photos from the past. They always have a mesmerizing effect on us and make us watch them again and again, without any chance of ever getting bored.

You can learn so much about the past by looking at just one photo. While each of them tells its own story, it also reveals interesting facts about the period in which it was taken.

There are countless photos from the past, but considering how many social media projects have been committed to them, you'd think you'd already seen them all by now. Especially those of our favorites - celebrities.

But, don't worry, we can never get so close to the idea of seeing them all. As a matter of fact, probably not even the vast majority.

The Instagram account, Vintage Daily, is one of the accounts dedicated to the past and adores its photos and stories. They are great lovers of the past who continually post newly discovered images from the previous century, with a strong desire to show them to others who share their enthusiasm for the past.

So if you are a lover of the past, please enjoy the following photos below. We have compiled a new collection of their latest shared photos.
