Each photograph serves as a portal to bygone eras, from the haunting remains of an ancient Roman city to the heart-pounding dogfight above St Paul's Cathedral during the Battle of Britain, and from the chilling mugshot and fingerprints of Benito Mussolini to the joyous chaos of a snowball fight in France in 1896.
