About this subreddit: This subreddit was started ten years ago by /u/NotApostolate. Inspired by /r/100yearsago, I, michaelnoir, began to make posts in the same format in October 2014. I also made subreddits for the other centuries A.D.

How you can contribute: Just post something from the year in question, at the moment, 1819. A painting, a print, a letter, an event, a book, or whatever else you can find. It does not have to be an exact date, as long as it's from the year in question.
