I'm both fascinated and creeped out by the 18th Century

Wow, that's painted in 1761? There weren't any baroque guitar or lute composers around anymore. This painting must refer back to one or two generations before these children.

17th century is the most interesting desu

I like 18th century grenadier uniforms. Especially the hats.

Lead coffins preserve very well. They have found lead coffins today of corpses 100, 200 even 300 years old with flesh.

According to witnesses, the body was even more well preserved right when they opened it. This was after it had been exposed to air and started decomposing rapidly.
