Smorfie, travestimenti, ritratti strani e ridicoli... Gli scatti pazzi che si vedono sui social non sono certo un'idea originale dei nostri tempi. Guardate che pose si sono inventati questi inglesi in piena epoca vittoriana.
Myrtle Corbin, was known as the Four-Legged Woman – however that moniker was slightly misleading. While at a glance one could plainly see four legs dangling beyond the hem of her dress only one pair actually belonged to her. The other set belonged to her dipygus twin sister. Born in Lincoln County, TN in 1868 and

Gertrude Käsebier (1852-1934) established herself in the 1890s as one of the first professional women photographers. Above is her 1901 study of the 16-year-old Evelyn Nesbit, regarded as the most sensational beauty of her day – at the height of the Gibson Girl craze – who had famous men literally murdering each other for her favors. Käsebier specialized in portraits, but most of her subjects led more tranquil lives than Evelyn Nesbit. "I earnestly advise women of artistic tastes to train for the unworked field of modern photography. It seems to be especially adapted to them, and the few who have entered it are meeting a gratifying and profitable success." – quoted in Gertrude Käsebier : The Photographer and Her Photographs by Barbara L. Michaels (New York : Abrams, 1992)

Пикториали́зм (англ. pictorialism, от англ. pictorial — живописный) — течение в европейском и американском фотографическом искусстве конца XIX — начала ХХ вв., подчеркивавшее в фотографии те черты, которые сближали ее с живописью и графикой эпохи (импрессионизм, живопись прерафаэлитов, символизм,…
It isn't what you might think; the sensual pleasures in this far-from-erotic film have to do with the opulence of costume and upholstery, and the intoxications of opium and champagne. Bertrand Bonello's drama is a decadent portrait of the end of an era — and of its most beautiful victims.
Essere gay durante l'epoca vittoriana non era certamente facile, ma ovviamente le leggi e le costrizioni degli uomini non possono essere più forti della natura propria di ogni individuo. L'omosessualità fu un reato punibile con la pena di morte sino al 1861, pochi anni prima della maggior parte delle fotografie di questa galleria. Furono migliaia le persone uccise durante i 3 secoli della legge, passati per la forca soltanto perché "diversi". L'Inghilterra fu inoltre un paese terribile per quanto riguarda l'omosessualità, perché fino al 1967 la legge puniva con il carcere il reato di sodomia e in genere di atti sessuali diversi dal fine procreativo. (Per approfondire leggi il Buggery Act su Wikipedia). Le fotografie di questa galleria, che fanno coppia con quelle degli uomini omosessuali dello stesso periodo, assumono maggior valore di unicità in quanto sono, fondamentalmente, le testimonianze del proprio essere "contro la legge", di queste donne di epoca vittoriana. La strada per raggiungere una condizione di giustizia nei confronti delle persone non eterosessuali è ancora molto lunga, basti pensare che, in India e in alcuni stati degli USA, il Buggery Act è ancora in vigore, punendo con il carcere la sodomia.

Si alguna vez has visto fotografías de la época victoriana, te podrás haber percatado de que casi nadie sonreía. Obvio tenían dos grandes razones, la primera es que una fotografía tardaba hasta 4 horas en tomarse y la segunda es que tenían una pésima higiene bucal; literal sus dientes estaban podrid

Delve in the history's vault and reemerge with these photos of pure beauty.
Here we have a photograph of exactly the type of personality the bourgeois expected to meet at the cabaret. This is Louise Weber or "La Goulue," so named for her tendency to pick up a patrons glass and down the whole thing. The imagery here suggests entertainment, dancing, progressive ideas, liberty, free love, and all that jazz. Liberty is especially present here. Undoubtedly this picture was take after 1886, as she is clearly imitating the Statue of Liberty, gifted in that year. However, rather than pure lady liberty, here we see licentious stockings, her undergarments, her pushed up bust, and in place of a torch, she holds a champagne flute. Furthermore, she is sitting, seeming at ease, and has her legs crossed like a gentleman. All of these things contribute to conveying the image that the cabarets were striving to cultivate in response to Hausmannization, in order to attract their bourgeois clientele. This is a beautiful example of the kind of wild individuality, revolutionary spirit, and slightly lower class type of person that the bourgeois were seeking. Image dated between 1885-1895, I would suggest certainly after 1886. Image found on Europeana.
