Timeless Beauty

This is a video slideshow set to a track from the Pride & Prejudice soundtrack. It features images that I have collected of Edwardian and Victorian Women.

Women have come so far in our society today, and still have wonderful advances still to come. Still.... its hard not to notice that something has been lost along the way. Same can be said of "modern" man, as well.

society has come far since this era, but a part of that which should have been kept is gone. Shame. Proper beauty is hard to find now

As wonderful as the different phases of the 20th century were, there is always a special place in my heart for the early 1900's and 1910's.

@osallent Yeah, you are totally right and I am sorry I made the comments I did.

What has happened in the long past and doesn't have anything to do with today.

This is a beautiful composition of photos.

@kennethj1956 Slavery had been gone for decades by the time any of these pictures were taken. Time to move on and stop using the race card. A lot of people's ancestors were mistreated too, not just blacks. In some parts of Europe and the US, Irish, Jews and Italians were considered just as "bad" as being black.

What people miss about these films is the nice way people dressed, and their manners. It's that part of society they long for, not the less savory racist legacy.

@BreezesofConey ..... My ancestors were slaves . My grandmother told me all the scars her older relatives had across their backs and the continual raping of the women & girls. Sorry, but i don't see anything "romantic" about this painful reality. ...But I see you have painted a convenient picture for yourself to excuse the horrific atrocities of the past......FACT: The whites had freedom and could leave an "unkind" situation. FACT: We Slaves could not leave.

Now Blacks are treated "unkindly"

[BreezesofConey]

@kennethj1956 Not all blacks were enslaved even during the days of slavery. Slavery was abolished in the 1860s and even those who were were not always mistreated. We romanticize certain things and it's become so common to romanticize also this idea that all slaves were martyrs for white civility and scarred and abused. There were plenty of whites who were treated unkindly as well.

[BreezesofConey]

It's so unfortunate that the people of today always tell me how much better it is to live now than then when really it boils down to having the "things" we have today that they didn't then. Suddenly all else about life is forgotten and replaced by stuff. Granted some things make life easier but in fact we have become so dependent on and obsessed with "things" we have forgotten how to notice life, how to notice each other, how to use our minds. We've lost the sense of what matters more.

@kennethj1956 Then it is a good thing that this video is not about black slaves. :)

[kennethj1956]

Best of times if you were white and rich.

A black like me would be a scarred back slave.
