#7: Vintage Summer, Circa 1920s
We tend to think of the 1920s as a distant time in the past. It was about 100 years ago, after all. Yes, we know that’s wild to think about. However, some of us might have memories of the 1920s passed down to us from our grandparents or older family members. People like us were driving around, hanging out, and living their lives over a century ago.
This retro photo is so cool because it shows a simple slice of life. It’s not a photo of a famous 20s-era celebrity or a monumental historical event. It’s just a snapshot of a group of friends hanging out by a car during the dog days of summer. The 1920s marked a new decade when cars became more affordable to the average person. This photo is a perfect example of how times were changing.
