43 Rare Historical Photos That Show a Different Perspective of a Time Gone By

Queen Elizabeth ascended to the British throne on February 6, 1952, but before that, she was just a girl. This photograph captures a rare moment of a young Queen Elizabeth in an easy state of happiness with one of her horses. She has always been fond of horses; this early photograph shows that.

This photo was taken in the mid-1930s at Queen Elizabeth’s family country estate in Sandringham. Based on the estimated date, the Queen is probably not even 15 years old in this photo. It’s so interesting to see a picture of a famous public figure before she became the Queen we all know today.
