42 Photos That Capture Curious Moments Throughout History

This photo is cool enough just for its unique composition. The image of the policeman gesturing or saluting at the stern-faced, suit-clad (and flowery shirt-clad) man with the baby casually thrown under his arm is pretty evocative as it were. I could make up any number of stories about it.

Yet when you find out that the stern-faced, suit-clad man is actually former Canadian Prime Minister Elliot Trudeau, and the baby under his arm then future Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, then the photo starts to take on a less farcical and slightly more profound kind of quality.
