You are right, its a Manchurian bow but they were using in Mongolia especially around that period. His clothing is definitely Mongolian though.

Great thread keep em coming pls

Interdasting. Here's a Manchurian for the thread.

And here's a Tibetan warrior with a matchlock rifle. Getty Images says it's from Jan 1, 1900 but they were using these to try to fight the Chinese even into the 50s.

Here's a picture of Elim Khan, Emir of Bukhara, taken by the Russian photographer Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky in 1911.

They're like hypermongols

Looks like a looney toons character who had an anvil fall on their face. How the hell does this happen?

Being asian

Whenever an Asian child is born, instead of slapping it on the ass to make it cry they whack it in the face with a shovel. It's pure culture.

Why are you guys acting like this is a surprise? Most Koreans look like this without all of that plastic surgery.

Javanese woman

Those are models dressed in Japanese armor. The real samurai didn't wear armor after the 1700s anymore, they wore uniformed Kimonos.

Very cool photo!

So ethnic Chinese are not the indigenous people of Taiwan?

I'm not an expert on the subject, but the formosan languages of Taiwan fall into the greater austronesian languages. This may relate them more to Malayans and Polynesians than mainland Chinese.

>Afghan ladies in their Purdah dress
Kek, doesn't Purdah mean curtains?

Here's a personal picture of my great great grandparents, Hanzo and Ino Hakoda. I believe the photo is from sometime around 1900, and possibly taken in Fukuoka where I'm told they are from.
