15 photos, showing that the Victorian era was much more fun than we thought

If you've ever seen pictures of the Victorian era, you've probably noticed that they are no smiles. All look so serious that it seems that people in the 1800s did not know how to have fun! But these rare photos show that this is not true. There are many speculations why the Victorians posing with such stern faces. To take a picture, it was required to withstand the exposure for a few hours. Of course, smiled a few hours, it would be very difficult, so people just sit with a stiff expression.

According to another theory, the Victorians did not smile, embarrassed by their bad teeth. Well, let's not discount the general rudeness of that distant era. People were far less subtle and perhaps they just did not occur to capture the smile on his memory.
