🔸 Sir Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890) was a notorious superhero (or antihero) and swordsman of the Victorian era. While at Trinity, the half-Irish Burton challenged another student to a duel for mocking his moustache. Burton learned 29 languages and became proficient in fencing. During an expedition to Africa, he was impaled with a native spear, the point entering one cheek and exiting the other, and leaving a scar that can be seen in this photo. He was forced to make his escape with the weapon still stuck through his face. Along with participating in clandestine operations, Burton was renowned for his fighting skills and earned the nickname "Ruffian Dick" because he had "fought in single combat more enemies than perhaps any other man of his time." Burton authored a number of important texts on the sword (including Sword & Bayonet Exercises, a classic book on the history of the Sword, and his "Sentiment of the Sword" about fencing) and translated a number of important Eastern cultural and mythological texts. A scholar, spy, and world explorer, he also had an interest in the occult, native sexual practices, drugs, runes, snake charming, was initiated into an esoteric Sufi brotherhood, as well as into a Hindu sect, all of which made him a subject of controversy and fascination in his time. A linguist, he reportedly learned to identify up to 60 monkey "words," which he recorded in a "monkey vocabulary." In 1886, Queen Victoria made him Knight Commander of St. Michael and St. George.

🔸 1919 Olive Thomas and her Russian wolfhound, by Hartsook Studios. She was a silent movie actress and one of the original jazz era flappers who sadly died a year later in 1920. She swallowed a bottle of corrosive bichloride mercury in a hotel bathroom in Paris Ritz: an “accidental” death apparently.

Theda Bara is considered by many to be the original 'Vamp' thanks to her sexually dominating roles. She is one of the most famous silent film stars to ever live - she never appeared in a sound production - with a peak between 1914 and 1919. Some of her best-known films include A Fool There Was and The Devil's Daughter. She made more than 40 films between 1914 and 1926, but most were lost in the 1937 Fox vault fire. This portrait of the star was originally taken while Bara was taking on the role of the eponymous character in Carmen, a now lost Raoul Walsh film released in 1915. #victorianchaps #vintage #thedabara #actress #nostalgia #beauty #vamp #earlyfilm #retro #silentmovie #hollywood #1910s #portrait #edwardian #oldphoto #goodolddays #filmstills (at Hollywood) https://www.instagram.com/p/CokjXpRjm_2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🔸 Portrait of Tessie Reynolds. Women in the 19th century were advised against cycling. It was seen as an unhealthy activity for the supposedly “fragile” female body – and it went against well-established social conventions, by many a hysterical traditionalist. However, in 1893, aged just 16, Reynolds set a record for cycling from Brighton to London and back in just 8 hours 30 minutes. Contrary to the norms of the day, she completed the cycle in “rational” dress – pantaloons and a shirt, rather than a traditional voluminous skirt. This picture was actually taken in 1890. #victorianchaps #victorian #cyclist #pioneer #goodolddays #nostalgia #tessiereynolds #oldphoto #victorian #pastlives #history #1890s #retro #vintage https://www.instagram.com/p/CnjQySFAqPK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
