    Rudolph Rustimo at 9:53 had a form of dwarfism. This photo was likely taken when he was older than a boy. He was shown around northern Europe as an oddity, a sensationalized bit of entertainment. The princess did arrange for him to be financially supported, but on top of his disability, he developed alcoholism (can you blame him, poor man?) which hastened his demise.

      Seems to me he was an odd choice for a playmate. Male, foreign, probably didn't even speak her language. What the hell could they play? Dolls? Word games? He was a PET. Like an animal.

    • @hilaryc3203
      @hilaryc3203 Před měsícem +2

      ​@@xquisite7791 Before being gifted to the Austrian princess, he was in Germany, having been gifted to a German noble family from Egypt and learned the language there. So he could talk with her when he was with her and had been taught how to interact in a wealthy household.
      He replaced the monkey she had as it was biting people and not well, and so was sent to the zoo. Yes, very distasteful, but getting a child to play with a rich child was not uncommon back then so they didn't think anything of it.
      Poor children in Europe were also taken as playmates, willingly signed over by parents as an opportunity for the child, as it gave them a chance to grow into a better position within the household and earn wages and a craft. Parents would consider their child very lucky to do that because the option was to be sent into the mines or other very rigorous labour that had a short life span. That was always a practice in most cultures around the world.
      It was how apprenticeships worked as well. The father would sign over his sons, at a relatively young age (i.e. 10 - 12), to someone to teach him them a skill. Life for kids was hard regardless of colour and origin. Although being captured into slavery is distinct of course, I'm just explaining so you see how children were used overall and the mindset of adults.
      He would not really be alone with her; a governess would be around to watch them while she did her sewing etc. Rudolph accompanied Marie on walks, performed servant duties, conducted administrative tasks, and later learned the bookbinding craft. After she grew older, he also became a Court Announcer as well. The princess ensured he received wages.
      Sadly, his health deteriorated in part due to alcoholism and it was written, poor cognition as well. People with dwarfism often have other related health issues and the doctors of the time would not have had the knowledge to ensure his good health. He died young at 31.
      Although what he went through was wrong,, it's good that he has not been lost to time. His story has been told and retold, and there are now web pages about him. Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to answer you properly.

    That people not reacting to the Scold's Bridle, says a lot. People think that picture is a joke picture but it was how they treated women back then, with huge disrespect. This was used on slaves as well, same time period roughly, but yes it was a very evil practice. Horrific. Also, people think the war the West is promoting against Russia is not new, we see this in the image with the man without an arm, British man, fought in the crimean war back in 1854. If people paid attention to history they would know that the West have tried getting into Russia more than one time. Wish they would just stop. x

I do have memories about that streetlife. Shops presented themselves at their outstanding best. Especially wit Chridtmas and Eastern. But then, I guess under the influence of managers and bookkeepers, all that faded awsy and instead of 'more' we end up with little. Hardly any choice in any aspect of shops nor the goods they sell.

      @@ike3094 True, but it's actual usage was generally a community thing, like the dunking stool. Generally, nagging wives were quickly quieted down with a slap or two, in much the same manner as children. As Morrasey put it "Barbarism begins in the home."
      But it's worth pointing out that it's usage was by no means solely for women, but men were usually flogged for public disorder in addition to it's use, particularly if he was put in the stocks, to be seen by all.

    I blew my youngest sons mind when I told him that his Great-great grandmother was born in 1887 and that she actually died when I was 17 (1987) I spend a lot of time at her house when I was a child and she taught me to peel potatoes when I was around 6-7 years old.

    I recognized the uniform , of the young man at 12:41 , but I didn't know it was Custer !! He was a vain , stubborn , soldier , during The Civil War , some might say he was brave , but there is a fine line between ,stupidity and bravery . I say , concerning what he led his men into,😢 later at The Battle of Greasy Grass ,( Litttle Big Horn ), that Custer was too set on a victory , and he led his men into a massacre !!! No hero to me !!!😢😢 I liked most of the other historical photos , though .

    This is why I dont like the colorization of black and white photos. Example; The picture of General Custer shows him with Red hair. He was blonde man. In fact that was one of his vanity traits. His blonde yellow hair. Messing with history once again.

    I dont think eminent scientist Charles Darwin at any point of his life would or even could have worn that outlandish acid yellow vest and pants combo, mens civilian clothing has always been sober muted tones until1960s unless for a stage performer I could go with a gentler mustard (brownish yellow) vest but your yellow is too much

      The Victorians were famous for their eye-popping (to us) colors, actually. Especially after the invention of aniline dyes. We think of the colors as having been muted because most dyes were “fugitive” which is to say they faded over time, in both fabrics and photographs (it was common to hand tint photographs prior to the common use of color film.) It’s quite possible that the bright yellow would have been accurate.
      It’s hard to know, of course, looking only at a black and white or a sepia tone photo. Whatever it was showed up as almost white in the photo, contrasted with almost black. A dark brown/black with yellow is possible. Other combinations might have been possible too, including red instead of black, since many reds show up black in a black and white photo.
      Those of higher class (as was Darwin) often chose brighter colors because they were harder to achieve and displayed their wealth. Those of lower classes often used cheaper or more natural dyes, or castoff clothing that had faded through use, laundering, or sun exposure. A photographic portrait was also a Very Big Deal, so people would put in their very best, often newest, clothes for the occasion.
      Check out articles or books on the fashion history of the Victorian age if you are interested. I learned much of this from creating costumes for the Dickens Fair, a crafts fair in California set in London between about 1840 and 1865.

      @@DawnDavidson I studied Dress and Fashion at college which is where I learned about the dyes (pre aniline)being more muted,, Dickens who was not just a writer but a showman would likely have worn more flamboyant clothing than a scholar and scientist like Darwin who spent a lot of his time amongst the dons at Oxford

    Incredible...crazy stuff! How do you own these photos (or copies of them, I don't know), where? In the meantime, however, haven't you told us why there is a photo of a woman with a disturbing iron helmet between her head and her teeth, like torture, perhaps an ancient 19th century device prototype of a device for straightening teeth?

    • @Doxymeister
      @Doxymeister Před 5 měsíci +1

      There may be such a device for straightening teeth, but there are examples of this particular device still surviving in museums in England. This one features a tongue of metal that passes over the tongue in order to restrict movement, thereby stopping speech. From other comments, I've learned this was done to women who talked back to their husbands or gossiped.
