Hello guys and welcome to another episode with Snapshots from History, taking us on a photographic journey into the past.
- I honestly believed this photograph of a Zebra carriage was somehow manipulated in Photoshop. However, it turns out that people in the 19th and early 20th century really did try to domesticate Zebras. In this picture, Mr. Hardy, a well-known horse rider and trainer, is riding a Zebra carriage through the streets of London in 1898. While it has been claimed that it is possible to tame individual zebras, attempts to domesticate zebras have been mainly ineffective, and they have been abandoned.
- This picture has been taken in 1947 of 1 year old Farrokh Bulsara and his nanny in Zanzibar. 25 years later the world would know him as Freddie Mercury.
