History timeline...to get the facts correct!

I know Photography is a visual course! However, it could be argued that all images need a context (unless you want them to be ambiguous)...in our case, we have a deep historial context which needs to be referenced carefully to be able to create 'correct' and hopefully, distinguished images...
