These Historical Photos Will Make You Wish You Could Turn Back Time

19th Century Tree Workers

These professional tree workers were photographed standing on the very top of each branch and posing for the camera. While this might seem dangerous, and it was, it was perfectly normal to see men climbing to the top of the trees and pruning them in the 1800s. This reportedly promoted the tree’s growth. But it’s no wonder that they needed so many workers given the size of that tree in front of the house.
