There's an old photo taken in 1894 of a Native American girl smiling - her modern seeming expression makes the photo seem like it was taken yesterday.
It really changes my impression of what the late 1800's were like - it makes me think that they were more like me and less like a stodgy caricature.

I suspect that modern video will humanize us to posterity.
