This looks like the photography of Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky which means it's a legit colour photo from that era.

That could explain why there isn't a hand in sight.

That and coldness.

Why that woman has a beard?

[–] legion02@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why would you assume he's a woman?

[–] electrogamerman@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why would you assume she's a man?

There are women with beards, but ok, ill see where your comments are coming from.

[–] Soulg@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There are, but the overwhelming majority of the time, a beard is on a man, so it's a pretty safe assumption.

[–] electrogamerman@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

A pretty safe assumption doesn't make it truth.
