That Marilyn Monroe photo

A publicity still for the 1954 film The Seven Year Itch, this photo of Marilyn Monroe standing on a New York City subway grate with the wind blowing up her skirt, is arguably the most famous image of Monroe, who herself is still one of America’s most iconic celebrities.

Raising the flag at Iwo Jima

“Perhaps no Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph is better known than Joe Rosenthal’s picture of six U.S. Marines raising the American flag on Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima,” according to the Pulitzer organization itself.

Rosenthal took the photo for the Associated Press on February 23, 1945, and within days, it was everywhere, symbolizing American dominance in the Pacific war zone. It later became the model for the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Virginia, which has added to its fame.

Dubbed the "Cliff House," this seven-story resort was located in San Francisco. It was built in 1896, and this photo is from 1902, just five years before it tragically burned down in 1907. The Cliff House resort was an extremely exclusive place to stay when it was first built; so much that three presidents stayed there.
