That was an unexpected find and I swear I wasn't even doing such a specific search.

It's Tsar Nicholas II.

Swimming.

Naked.

At Tsarskoye Selo.

Hello @KarnovichValua and @IvorCrotty MAY I ASK WHY YOU DIDN'T ASK ME TO COLORIZE THESE

Farei? sim.

Ota Benga was a Mbuti (Congo pygmy) man, known for being featured in a human zoo exhibit in 1906 at the Bronx Zoo. Benga had been purchased from African slave traders. He tried to return to Africa, with no success.

Benga fell into depression and committed suicide in 1916.

When Benga, a teenager, returned from an elephant hunt in Congo, he found that his entire family and village had been slaughtered by Force Publique, the private army of King Leopold created to enforce rubber production quotas.

He was kidnapped by slave traders and put to work.

In 1904, Benga was "freed" by an American missionary and amateur anthropologist Samuel Phillips Verner who was under contract from the Louisiana Purchase Exposition to bring back pygmies to be part of a human exhibition at the fair.
