 It’s a pity, we don’t have photos dating before the 1820s to see how the outfits of those times really looked like. Simply because the photography wasn’t yet invented. So we have to be satisfied with paintings, drawings, and similar pictures. But still, we can witness the life of people in the 19th century with a help of old photos. Here is a little collection of such photos made in 1860s-1895 in Europe, America, and Australia. Let’s enjoy these black&white pieces of history and look at the clothing worn by the posing people.
