You fond some sites that are very popular, like Matt Cutt's blog and after browsing it for sometime, some thought come into your mind that how this site used to look in early days when it was new. But you can't find anyway to do it, other than asking a scientist for an "Time Machine".
The snapshot are not actually pictures, it's an HTML document generally used by a website, thus if an image was there on an website and later it was deleted from the server then the images won't be showed in the archive of the website. In easy words, they capture the site's HTML, and save it on their server.
