The mirror is our friend and at the same time a mockery. Depending on the lighting and the quality of the mirror, it can make us happy or sad. In one mirror you like yourself, and in the other you don't want to see. Only in any case, our life is unthinkable without mirrors. Today, many people love not only to look in them, but also to take selfies.

Selfie photography is a new phenomenon, previously technology did not provide such opportunities. Although even 50 years ago, girls were photographed near the mirror. mystylex.techinfus.com/en/ chose vintage photos where girls and women preen themselves near mirrors. The photographs were taken between 1940 and 1960.



Today our life has changed in many ways, the standards of beauty and the boundaries of freedom have changed. In the 1940s and even in 1960, almost no one could dare to photograph themselves in the mirror half-naked and show this photo to everyone they know. Today we can easily take such photos and show them to the whole world on social networks.

Recently, at the museum, I saw how girls photographed their reflection in an old mirror. I don't believe in any superstitions and omens, but I didn't want to be photographed in a mirror with a huge history, perhaps the mirror can accumulate some energy and influence our reality. It is possible that all this is sheer nonsense, but I got a feeling of caution, so there is no photo in the antique mirror. Would you take a selfie in a 19th century mirror?
