Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!
Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.
Generally speaking, ruins should go to !historyruins@lemmy.world
Illustrations of the past should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world
Photos of the past should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world

That Wikipedia page has such a shitty drawing as a header image, lol
I wonder how they store it
The flag drawer
So the "only single socks because the dryer ate the other one" drawer
I can imagine what this would look like restored - thinking, golden golds, and royal burgundy reds, but does anyone have any idea what it actually look like?? Computer concept, please
Admiral Nelson’s final battle
Send it to one of those rug cleaning guys. Gonna take a while
