#1 From the thumbnail I thought this was Wednesday from the Adam's Family dressed as a Native American.

So much beauty, so many sad eyes.
MrWoland
Those Sami women are mixed with white swedes. Sami are described as dark skinned and dark haired by Linné(Linnaeus in english)

The outfit of "Ottoman woman from Turkey in 1901" is too revealing to be real. I think it's actually a sort of soft porn of "exotic" women.

Anyone else try to guess where they are from before reading it?

#9 I like the caption. "Woman wearing a big hat," I think.
Thesaya
The Sami women are sporting the awkward smiles all Swedes seem to get when posing for the camera.

Awesome post. Seriously interesting and informative. Thanks OP.
Pinkfluffytriangle
I'm loving how much detail I'm noticing in a lot of the b&w pics. Some excellent quality photos!
WilliamKeith
B&W photos were more detailed because the grains were very fine and dense compared to the needed mix of color-reactive grains, I think.
IronicContradiction
You ever see boobs censored and just think… Why? What could possibly be offensive about them?
ShrimpPoBoy
Plus, in the very next photo they show a woman's pussy.

I remember a confession bear post a while back where the user worked at a funeral parlour and confessed to necrophilia.
MistoKat
That's pretty bad, but at least they'd be freshly dead...
fmdoodles
Such beauties!
Monkofthepast
damn shame bout that hygiene.
userI849
Ethnic Eastern European cultures were very impacted by development since 1900. The diversity and intensely local traditions were impressive
userI849
They still are to a large extent but have been largely weakened and degraded by 2 world wars, the Soviet’s and modernization
PuddenTame
I always think these people are all dead now.

The samoan lady's top looks odd.
councilofmikes
I hate those kinds of tops.
0ut0fBoundsException
OP really disappointed there
Kellboy69
Rectangles were considered very beautiful in that time, don't be ignorant.
BigFatPaulee
Those solid black rectangle tops have long since gone out of fashion though.
YouMayFeelAPinch
Yeah that probably shouldn't be censored... but you know advertisers don't like that
Bobeez
That Sudanese woman is so beautiful!
lennonjane
She is actually somali though
betterlivingthroughchemistry
Agreed - so glamorous

Woman from Finland, "My dress has pockets"!

#19 her regalia is adorned with elk teeth and porcupine quill stitching

#1 That Maori woman looks extremely European.
raranz
She could be the offspring of Māori and a Pākehā (European) parents.
Shellzie2010
Aren't there also some groups of original inhabitants who were lighter skinned and had different features than most Maori?
raranz
There were the Moriori, I believed they lived on Chatham island off the coast of NZ.
TheFutureIsShitJustLikeThePast
No Kiwi likes being called pakeha. We are kiwis nothing more nothing less.
GarthBlader
I'm kiwi..not fussed being called Pakeha.. always thought it was a good thing..
MyFavouriteColourIsBlue
Says who? I don't have a problem with it, probably says more about you if you do.
raranz
Thank you! I don’t have a problem with it either.
raranz
That’s incorrect, I don’t think you can speak for all of us thanks.
TheFutureIsShitJustLikeThePast
The last time the question was asked, more than 50% of (non-maori) NZers decided it was a racist term, despite it not being racist.
TheFutureIsShitJustLikeThePast
So while I don't speak for /all/ doesn't change the fact no one like's it.
TheFutureIsShitJustLikeThePast
And over 40% of Maori thought the same. Alot of people feel Pakeha flags them as outsiders to NZ. Hence prefer being called Kiwi / NZer.

Helloooooo Ireland 1900....

Depending how long she lived, the corpse might not be to badly decomposed at this point.

Ya, she is that woman from Ireland in the picture of the woman from Ireland.

All women are beautiful, it's just a shame they're so bitey...wait...that's sharks...

Well i think almost the same. Laughed when i saw one from Finland where i am from. Compared to others it's quite striking difference for me.

JasonDoodle
no they are very slappy....I mean women, not the sharks....well maybe the sharks too
ColoradoGirrl
I’m pretty sure most of us women are bitey too. At least the women I know are.
thefrisbeewasgettingcloserthenithitme
It’s women too
BigFatPaulee
Hahaha.. And woman.

That Tahitian woman, though ... wow

She looks like a real-life Moana <3

She looks like Moana drawn in traditional Disney style!

Will the REAL #13 please stand up!
erlinchick
Thank you. I hate how much we censor bodies. For seriously dumb reasons
43rdpresident
Curious if that's shopped or real? It's disappointing we have to censor breasts when it is portrayed as artistic beauty rather than sexual.
ckooloo
The Hawaiian lady is like the real life Moana
sanchomcfly
Yeah, dumb thicc
Taxicat
The Tahitian one even more so.
Gulanga
That photo was also censored I found out while searching
buttstufficles
Pretty much all Polynesian women look the same, gorgeous, but very very strong genes - as spoken by me, a Maori man
BreakfastWithCountChocula
As a lover of all things Polynesian, I agree.

While I was typing it the phrase came out differently from my head so yes I meant carpet buuut since you inquired no drapes are not curtains
