What schoolgirls looked like before and now

In the Russian Empire, girls studied in gymnasiums and institutes of noble maidens. We have collected photos with pupils from 1890-1915. A selection of high school girls from the 19th and 20th centuries, who demonstrate good breeding and purity with just one look.

Here is a photo with pupils of high schools and institutes of noble girls.

Elegance and purity.

Photo from The Russian Empire of the 1890s-1900s.

And these are shots with pupils of the 8th grade from the Simbirsk Mariinsky Gymnasium, 1915.

The schoolgirls had a strict uniform: tie, apron, long dresses, hair neatly gathered.

Beautiful girls of Tsarist Russia. True, users have noticed that if there is intelligence in their eyes, then they are too sad.

Also, many note that the girls from The Russian Empire looks much older and more mature than modern schoolgirls, even despite the makeup that the latter often use.
