Time: Around 1840-1943
Location: Arctic region
Event: The underwear in the picture is worn by women in the Arctic region. This kind of thong is sewn with sealskin. Why does it look like this? In fact, one reason is to save materials, and the other reason is a little romance.
expanded knowledge: You can go to Danish National Museum to see the original.
Time: 1876
Place: Royal College of Medicine, London, England
Incident: The people in the photo are not being tortured, but being treated! The man next to him is Dr. Lewis, and the woman is also a royal woman.
This is done to treat scoliosis in women, which is, of course, non-pathological! We now think this is probably physical medicine?
Traditional Chinese medicine doctors such as the Imperial Hospital of the Qing Dynasty at the same time also made great achievements! However, among the people... they burn incense, worship Buddha, and make steamed buns with human blood. There is still a big gap between private and official medical clinics!
But at the same time, the West was similar, with bloodletting therapy, etc. Perhaps this was the shackles of the times.
Time: August 1941
Location: A subordinate town of Smolensk, Soviet Union
Incident: Do you think this is an execution? Actually no, this was a test of the strength of the gallows, and the purpose was that they were going to hang five Soviet guerrillas. Perhaps, this is the gallows prepared for themselves.
Extended knowledge: The people in the picture are German soldiers. The Soviet-German war broke out on June 22, 1941. The Soviet army actually lost a lot of people in the early stage. This photo was taken against this background.
