That other picture game.

[The Lawspeaker]

Test your history knowledge: one names a year in history (in an era where photography was already common place) and you have to post a picture that is correspondent to that year. Also be so kind to tell for what occasion and on that date that picture was taken- then tell the next one in line to find a picture of another year.
