23 Mesmerizing Photos That Show the Charm of Men From the Previous Century Better Than Words

We recently wrote an article about the unique beauty of people that lived many years ago, and we showed their portraits as examples. Almost all of them were women. We think that that was probably a little bit unfair and decided to make a separate compilation with men.

Bright Side has searched through the entire internet and found photos of someone’s grandfather, great-grandfather, and even great-great-grandfather when they were young. Just look at these expressive faces. By the way, in the end, there is a bonus for you.

In the previous article, we asked our readers to tell us about their great-grandmothers and great-grandfathers and we had a lot of fun reading their stories and looking at their photos. You know what? We want more! If you haven’t done it yet, now is the time to share!
