27. Beauty in Chinese
Each country has its own concept of beauty. For a long time in China, small "lotus" legs were considered the canon of female beauty. Their appearance for Europeans was as shocking as the ways in which this type of foot was achieved.
The bandaging of the feet began around the age of five. Mothers wrapped narrow strips of cloth around their children's legs. For the next five years, the girls wore the strips all day and night without taking them off. As the child grew, so did the shape of his feet. At the same time, I had to endure terrible physical pain.
This crippling tradition lasted ten centuries, and disappeared only in the 20th century.

9. A child mailed
It is hard to imagine that a parent can safely send his son or daughter by mail, like a regular parcel. However, this is exactly what happened in the United States at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1913, the Postal Act was passed in the United States. However, it was not thought through to the end, which some cunning citizens took advantage of.
The law said that live cargo weighing up to 50 pounds (22.68 kg) could be delivered by mail. For comparison: an ordinary five-year-old boy weighs 20-22 kg, and a girl - 19-21 kg.
Because it cost less than a dollar to send a baby, it was cheaper than sending it by train. For example, in 1913, Madame Louis Bauge received her grandson in the mail, which cost her parents only 15 cents. And Mrs. and Mr. Savis from Pennsylvania mailed their daughter, which cost them as much as 45 cents.
Similar "baby packages" were sent and received in the United States until 1920. And the photo you see just illustrated the text of the USPS ban.
Unusual ideas for a photo of a girl
With the help of a battery-powered garland, you can make very atmospheric and unusual photos of a girl.

You can also use a mirror. It turns out a kind of selfie, but at the same time very unusual and atmospheric.
For those who do not like romance and prefer a rebellious spirit, the idea with a smoke bomb will do.
If you try to hide the face, then there is some ominous shade or meaning ...
Unusual photos of people
Try to take a camera with a wide angle lens and shoot so that the person is farther from the camera, the main subject is very close.

Even an ordinary garden pot or a plastic pipe will do. The main thing is that your camera fits in there.
A bicycle wheel will also do for such shots. And not only that, the main thing is to choose the right angle and a suitable subject for creating a photo of the "frame" technique.
6. Vulture and boy
The most unusual photographs of the world can be truly creepy. Like the history that goes with it. In 1933, photographer and journalist Kevin Carter, who was in the Sudanese city of Ayod, photographed a small, malnourished boy named Kong Nyong, who was slowly crawling behind his parents. They ran to the plane for humanitarian aid.
The vulture watched the boy carefully and patiently.
This picture brought Carter the Pulitzer Prize, worldwide fame, and accusations of inhumanity.Three months after receiving the award, the journalist committed suicide.
The boy was taken out at the UN food aid station. According to his family, he died in 2008.
