I like specially the third photo. The girl is about 14, but her waist is already so tiny... Since brazilian girls married young(at 15 or 16, and this was something many european travelers talked about), they started wearing corset early too...I also have a strange feeling when I look at her: looks like she is not there. And it's not a post mortem photo!

Certainly, a few days ago we spokek in the forum of this type of marriages in suramérica. And, ultimately, it is as if they were going on from the childhood to the maturity at one stroke, and is obvious in her looks...

Ciertamente, hace unos días hablamos en el foro de ese tipo de matrimonios en suramérica. Y, al final, es como si pasaran de la niñez a la madurez de golpe, y se nota en sus miradas ...

There's a famous brazilian historiana/anthropologist, Gilberto Freyre, who studied 19th century brazilian society for almost his entire life. He often quotes those european travelers when they said childhood didn't exist, because young kids were dressed and behaved like adults; they also pointed that brazilian rich women had lost all their beauty and freshness at 25, with seven or eight children to take care off. Sad.

But those dresses were great anyway!

It is that, in many occasions, they were happening of playing with wrists at taking charge of his own children and, it for the body is a tremendous punishment, especially in an epoch in which the life expectancy already had increased so much.

But, which is indisputable as you say, it is that the dresses are a delight! XD

Es que, en muchas ocasiones, pasaban de jugar con muñecas a hacerse cargo de sus propios hijos y, eso para el cuerpo es un castigo tremendo, sobre todo en una época en la que la esperanza de vida ya había aumentado tanto.

Pero, lo que es indiscutible como dices, es que los vestidos son una delicia! XD
