Some interesting - and sad - pics here... No.4 looks very proud of her barrel.
| Quote: | Photographs have long been used to record special and unique moments – birthdays, weddings and the occasional selfie are all commonplace. But these next 30 photographs go beyond the norm – they encapsulate the mood, tone and values of yesteryear, a compelling account of the evolution of our values if you will.
From landmarks in history, strange feats of physical endurance through to peculiar devices & oddball characters we hope this series of images will astound, confound and enthrall you. |

Great stuff, though perhaps the squeamish should be warned there is a suicide among the pictures. The mannequins are somehow even more disturbing, especially the one that appears to have excreted two heads, one of them his own!  |

I also enjoyed the link, but I have to say I thought that photo was the most likely staged of the bunch. |

Quite possibly, but the idea of it still made me feel rather sad  |
