20 historical photos that instantly take you to the 19th century

Each of us at least once in our life dreamed of making a journey through time. Someone wants to look into the future with just one eye, others dream of the past times, where life was more measured, people (as we often think) are more polite, and the world around is beautiful and stable. On the other hand, some, looking at discreet monochrome images, believe that people lived quite boring. But do not be fooled: only photographs were black and white, and real life, as always, played with colors and spoiled its participants with a wide variety of fascinating subjects. Let's see how the distant 19th century was!
