Time Magazine has pulled together the 100 most influential images of all time, from 1826 – 2015.

The staff at the magazine called in the experts – curators, historians and photo editors from around the world to help narrow down the impressive list.

According to the magazine, this is how they decided what to classify as ‘influential’:

“There is no formula that makes a picture influential. Some images are on our list because they were the first of their kind, others because they shaped the way we think. And some made the cut because they directly changed the way we live. What all 100 share is that they are turning points in our human experience.”

The images range from humans, animals, to inanimate objects. They capture a wide range of emotions, events, and all perfectly freeze a defining moment in time.
