17 Vintage Photos Capturing a Bygone Era

Hiraeth is a Welsh word that captures the deep longing and nostalgia for people and places that have been lost to history. It is more than just a simple feeling of nostalgia, as it specifically refers to a place that can never be returned to. For the Welsh, hiraeth often brings to mind aspects of their culture that have faded away over time.

If you're yearning to immerse yourself in your own sense of hiraeth, we present to you a collection of photos that will transport you to a world of bygone eras. These images may evoke memories of times past, or they may depict moments that you can only imagine, but they all represent a world that has vanished into the mists of time.
