Again a reason why the name of this community is a bit weird.

Yes it's an impressive photo with historical significance.

However calling it 'porn' is a fucking misnomer.

I wish I could change the community name. I took over when it was abandoned, and this took the name from the Reddit sub.

Agree, But there is not any active History Images community.

Yeah it was no criticism to the post, I have the same thing this with Holocaust related images too.

Not sure how it should be called,'historically significant images' doesn't have that ring.

However I want to keep the discussion going about it.
