When it came to Dr Clemence Lozier - doctor! - I had to look her up. Oh my goodness, what an important woman and human being who dramatically improved the lives of women and women's health forever. Hers should be a household name as much as Pasteur or any number of male medical heroes. Mrs Lozier was a FIRST in many ways in the arena of women's medicine, and a humanitarian at every level. I honor her in the depths of my heart and place her among the great unsung women of the world.
Constance Walsh I had to look her up too, and what an amazing woman she must have been. Being such a pioneer must have been so hard in a time when you barely had a say so in your own life.
@@andrea178 I just couldn't even imagine trying to get folks to take you seriously just because you're a woman. And you know people made it difficult. How frustrating it had to have been.
You all prolly dont give a damn but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
The girl at :23 is utterly beautiful and considering no make-up, just amazing
Most of these women are teenagers
@paul beenis
Ikr.
Agreed.
Brady's studio portaits are always beautifully lit. He really is one of the greats. I can look at these lovelies all day and imagine their lives. Thanks for sharing.
The unidentified woman at 0:23 was lovely. One wonders who she was and what her life was like.
absolutely true!
So true. She was actually named Madeline Yale Wynne and was an American author and artist :)
@@wandabyers9519 Thanks! She was an interesting lady. 🙂
@@thetriumphofthethrill2457 no problem! I’m glad you saw my reply as your comment was made in 2019 😊
@@wandabyers9519 🙂👍
Thank you so much for this real jewel of a presentation: A timeless treasure, and one of the most valuable, intriguing and generous entries on RUclips.
Very interesting collection of photographs. Amazing to think that the elderly women might have been born in the 1790s or 1800...the 18th Century. Very poised and elegant all of them.
Some of the hairstyles are incredibly intricate. It must have taken them a long time to prepare.
GOD is amazing. Scratching the surface of Time and Life. Great upload. Thank you and may GOD bless all
He took quite good pictures of me.
Ah yes, the beauties of my time. Today it's just plastic.
I'm looking at the hair, then the material, then the trim, analyzing all of their beauty, just marvelous. wish my hair looked that beautiful when it was longer.
Miss Wheeler (0.41) is FABULOUSLY dramatic. I wonder if she was an actress or opera singer?
These are from the 1870's.
This needs to have music to it
A dirge would be fitting.
Drew What the hell is that?
@@chrishuston6652 so using Google makes one retarded? Actually wasting time looking it up certainly doesn't make you smart. All that time wasted looking up the same thing Google could have told you in a minute, leaving plenty of time for something else is foolish.
You need to see a doctor about that chip on your shoulder. You should also consult Emily Post regarding your trash mouth and utter disrespect. WTH is wrong with you? You think it's okay to beat that generation down while making your generation look like absolute trash? Wth does that say about you? You would think if you had any sense you would at least insult without making yourself look worse than those you're insulting. What a friggin hypocrite!!
Obviously your momma didn't teach you respect. I'm embarrassed to admit we are probably the same generation.
1:27 this actually Sadie Glutz
Beautifully posed. Such character and lovely feminine clothing.
LOL!
Some of these ladies are very attractive and without any real makeup.
nr 2 is a straight 10
She's single too
@@aaronm8636 Now she's a skeleton.
Mrs Roberts, whoever she was, was so beautiful. Ahh bless them all
Would be nice if photos were colorized...
The same guy who took pictures of the dead at Antietam.
You were a tyrant!
Simplemente preciosas!!
Salva Ferrer
Ok I'm jealous,I want their dresses😝
Due to bad/missing teeth, people didn't often smile for photos or portraits. Also, they had to hold absolutely still for minutes - a smile would have been equally horrible + showing teeth AND undignified.
Charlotte Gray.... you missed my second sentence. :)
Actually, by the 1860’s the exposure time was down to around 20 seconds if taken outdoors during the day or inside in a well-lit room. Still, that is a long time to hold still. It is why they had frames that supported the subject in one position. Sometimes you can see them on the edges of the subjects body.
Lark Bird
That’s a silly myth
@@connorpusey5912 actually it isn't a myth when talking about the living. Stands were used to help a living person hold a pose. It's a myth they were used to stand the dead.
0:23 sooo beautiful!!!
@Ruthlessnoodle actually she's now cold.
since she's unidentified we could literally know or even be one of her descendants and possibly never know....
i agree she's very pretty, the prettiest one here imo
where are the photos of this world before strangers appeared (... victorious allies ...)?
2:42 gorgeous!!!
Wow. Women appeared much older than their true age...Or were these all old mistresses (with the exception of one or two)? Photos and skin were clear. Dresses were intricate. I noticed many wore gloves. Thank you. Blessings.
Spiritual Compass most were teenage girls.
Wearing gloves was somewhat a status symbol and they often only wore a pair once, tossing it for a new pair with every change.
All photographs are golden ex history
The reason people never smiled in the 1870s was because the time it took to take the picture, Being wet plate glass it took maybe 5 to 10 sec to complete the photo.
Hayden Wittig also - bad teeth
Daguerreotypes took a minute but holding a pose and a fake smile isn't really as easy as you would think. It was also thought smiling was undignified, possible mental illness or intoxication.
Have you ever considered adding a little music or something?
Back in the good old days when the men and women mostly looked alike.
Loveliness
Bellas 🌹🌹🌹💗💗
Their faces tells more then thousand words.
A little make up will go a long way for these ladies.
2 and 3 were the best looking. 5 was probably as well but that hair....yeah, not into that hair. 2 had the best hair out of all of them by far. 3's hair wasn't bad
Some were good looking, some not so much. I wonder what their lives were like?
Probably a lot different, considering women were mostly to be seen, and not heard
Hell.
Women were the property of men, be it husband or relatives. They had no voting rights, no right to own property. They were dependent on a male to provide for them. Some were lucky and had decent men in their lives, some weren't so lucky. Job opportunities were slim; sewing, laundry, teaching, nursing, and of course prostitution.
they don`t do duckfish back then
no make up and still beautiful. also - natural hair colour for the most part I'm assuming. Danglies like today.
Themise: Yes they are gorgeous, but actually most women in that time did dye their hair 😊 Hair-dyes exist since thousands of years. The ancient egyptians used Henna and in Ancient Rome women eaven bleached themselves blonde with bird poop. In Victorian era especially chesnut-brown was very trendy in hair colorations 😉
Makeup was a thing
some look like those Victorian post mortem pics
I didn't see anyone lying in a coffin or even a bed for that matter.
1:03 ❤
Ancora? Dov' è la luce? Oh Sarah Woodruff, soccorrimi tu. Come hanno fatto i Preraffaelliti con " icone" come queste? Non è possibile, è un incubo!
Mrs Orton looks like John Cena.
This one 1:38 is one of John Wilkes Booth's girlfriends, Effie Germon.
So funny seeing teenage girls dressed (and named) as matrons 🤔
So they never smiled?
photos take minutes to snap so smile will have been something else.
It took a minute for a photo to be taken and that's harder than you would think. That's why they used posing stands. Smiling was considered undignified, or subject was suffering from mental illness or intoxication.
quanto luxo ,finíssimo detalhes, quanto custaria hoje uma roupa dessas, veluso seda, nylon ,penteados , oh, eu gostaria de andar assim na rua e vestir me assim e ser imortalizada!! beautifuhl!!!
Amiga do céu! Mas se vc é de um estado quente entraria em colapso! Lindíssimo! Mas era muita roupa né?
I'm wondering how these fussy clothing styles were washed and dried and ironed.
They weren't washed.
@@irisheyesofbelfast I find that hard to believe. Clothes were expensive, servants were cheap, and resources were precious. Women would not wear clothes so dirty and stained they made people hold their noses, and most wouldn't throw away their garments. They would more likely refashion them with the help of seamstresses, of which there were plenty since it was an "honest" profession for women, and laundresses, who were abundantly employed. I suppose I was asking the more practical question: How were they washed (in huge vats? in a local stream?), dried (huge clotheslines? stretched over bushes? on mannequins?) and ironed (in pieces?) The apparatuses must be interesting to see.
None of these people ever smile. Strange.
It was considered undignified and a sign of mental illness or intoxication. It was also difficult to hold a fake smile the full minute required for photos.
Too bad these ladies are identified as "Mrs. _______" and not their given names.
Carla Harris in the 19th century in America, once a woman or girl was married she was thereafter referred to publicly by her husband’s first and last names. I’ve even seen this practice extended on to headstones. They were property 😕.
They never show their teeth, is it because of poor dental hygiene?
No, its because it took several minutes to take one picture.
I wondered why nobody smiled. Perhaps, tradition. I thought it might be
to conceal teeth that may not be healthy.
They teeth perhaps were helthier than the people nowodays, but the photo took 30 minutes to be ready...
Most of them were constipated.
@@nikoletttorjay5756 these are daguerreotypes and it took a minute for a photo which is more difficult than it sounds when you have to hold still with a fake smile. That's why stands were used to help them hold a pose. Smiling was also undignified and could signify mental illness or intoxication.
actually it was a social custom, there are pictures from this time of people smiling its just that it wasn't viewed as very professional, it was often associated with being drunk
they smiled just as much as we do but not in pictures which is unfortunately all that's left of these fantastic women's lives
Ouch!! They all look like guys in drag.
The second one looks almost looks like she's wearing some sort of Star Trek uniform. All she needs is a set of ears.
Ah, a time when ladies were feminine and faithful to the love of their lives.
Alcibiades: There are a few good, pretty AND faithful women left, but men dont want them!!! They end up alone and bitter, because men rather go for the cheap bitches 😅
No, people were sleeping around as much as they do today. The words "bastard", "whore", and"adultery" are all old words and saw a lot of use in the past.
Riccardo Verdecia Sr - and the property of their husbands. You notice that very few were identified by their first names.
@@wordsofcheresie936 Read the tombstones from those days: Loving wife, devoted mother and Christian on most of them. Infidelity was very, very rare. Adultery was for the 1 in 10,000 who did cross the line.
@@kinnish5267 In those days, there was no way to prove who the father was of any child. Many children were calling a man father who wasn't really their father and the woman still put "devoted wife" on her tombstone. Now that we have DNA testing, studies have been done and there has been a lot of cheating by both sexes even among the very religious.
man, those is some severe women.
You try wearing a corset as many hours and see how chipper you look!
@@tinydancer7426 and literally pounds of clothing.
"those are"
Drooping shoulders.
Daphne the dresses were designed to make them look like they had sloping shoulders. It was considered feminine.
I guess they liked their women homely looking, eh. Pity.
Looks fake.
This woman's beauty, and now, plaster will impose on the face and think that it is beautiful
they look constipated ,sitting on the toilet
The woman were not the best looking. All wolf heads...
Like you're anything to look at.........
@@irisheyesofbelfast I know you don't have a picture of your wolf head either. I can get any woman I want Wolfie. Question is are you still doing push-ups in a cucumber patch?
These women looked so clean.....But...
Can someone tell me.. HOW did they manage their menstruation?😵💫
