National Geographic has launched a new Tumblr blog that features several weird and amazing photos from the magazine’s archives.
Called ‘FOUND’, many of these photos have never been published and are rarely seen by the public.
“FOUND is a curated collection of photography from the National Geographic archives,” National Geographic explains. “In honor of our 125th anniversary, we are showcasing photographs that reveal cultures and moments of the past.”
“We hope to bring new life to these images by sharing them with audiences far and wide. Their beauty has been lost to the outside world for years and many of the images are missing their original date or location.”
Check out some of the photos below:

A cowgirl puts a nickel in an El Paso parking meter to hitch her pony, October 1939.
A Highland cow is bid on at an auction, May 1970.
