An old photo from 100 years ago, Empress Dowager Cixi waving a "scarf" at a sneak peek, Figure 9 makes people's hearts beat faster
Figure 1: In 1887, the Meiji Emperor made the decision to build coastal defense, while Empress Dowager Cixi, the de facto ruler of the Qing Dynasty, was still pursuing a life of luxury. The picture shows a Japanese woman washing her hair.
Figure 2: At that time, Japanese people were generally short in stature, giving people a feeling of a villain country, but one thing worth affirming is that the essence of "bad" remains unchanged!
Figure 3: In 1869, during the Edo shogunate, Japanese samurai at that time were still very keen on cold weapons training.
Figure 4: A set of old photos of American cowgirls from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this horse should be expensive!
Figure 5: Three hundred and sixty lines are out of line, but this is really a rather strange profession. Pictured here is a professional mousetrap in 1904!
Figure 6 shows a view of the area around the Flatiron Building in New York, USA, when horse-drawn carriages and trams were the main means of transportation in the city. Completed in 1902, the Flatiron Tower sits at the intersection of Broadway avenue and Fifth Avenue and is known for its triangular design. Because of its iconic presence, the entire area around the building in Manhattan is called the Iron District.
Figure 7 shows the Chinese peasants at that time, looking full of sadness, working hard all year, but still can't fill their stomachs. Who does this big brother look like carefully?
Figure 8: On January 8, 1902, the Eight-Power Alliance invaded Beijing, and Cixi fled west in fright, when she reached the Bodhisattva Temple at zhengyang Gate. Leaving this classic moment, it was secretly photographed, and Cixi did not know whether to cover it with a "fragrant towel" or wave to a foreign reporter on the city wall?
Figure 9: There is a feeling of Jane Eyre at a glance. However, from the woman's dress and demeanor, it can be concluded that it is a rich girl. Wearing stockings, holding a novel in his left hand and a cigarette in his right hand, it is indeed not easy to pose for a shot. Look closely at her cigarette stick, is it the same as Hepburn's?
