The website Found is a beautifully curated collection of photography from the National Geographic archives. I went through the whole collection of photos preparing for this post and it was not an easy task to choose which pictures to use because of the high quality. I´ve kept the original cutlines. Enjoy!
Found is a curated collection of photography from the National Geographic archives. Started in 2013 to honor our 125th anniversary, the blog showcases photographs that reveal cultures and moments from our past.
Some of these photos have never been published before, others were in the magazine years ago but since then have rarely been seen by the public. Their beauty has been lost to the outside world.
We hope to bring new life to these images and the history they represent by sharing them with audiences far and wide. Many of the images are missing their original date or location, but each represents a story, captured in time yet in many ways timeless.
