SAEDNEWS: Find a list of good looking historical figures.
SAEDNEWS: We're exposed to attractive famous people everywhere we look it seems. But before the age of the internet and indeed the proliferation of photography, how did we know how someone looked like? Luckily, some photos and paintings survived to tell the story.
The famous English poet was apparently 5'8" (1.72 m) tall, and at one point weighted 194 lbs (88 kg), which was quite a lot for his frame. Byron is also said to have had a club foot and walk with a limp, but all his portraits show his best side. Byron was a master of manipulating his public image way before Photoshop! Still, he was pretty handsome.
Thomas Edison
The famous American inventor and businessman is usually depicted at an older age, but how handsome was Edison as a young man, right?
Harry Houdini
The famous illusionist and stunt performer could escape chains, ropes, and straitjackets. But he surely couldn't escape his good looks!
Eva Perón
Also known as Evita, María Eva Duarte de Perón was an actress, politician, and overall celebrity, who also served as First Lady of Argentina. Considered a style icon to this day, Eva Perón was much loved by the people of her country, and was certainly a looker!
Elisabeth (also known as Sisi) is said to have spent a lot of time working out. Elisabeth was really into fitness and, by the looks of it, Emperor Franz Joseph couldn't resist her athletic frame. Though her said 19.5-inch (49 cm) waist hints that she might have suffered from anorexia.
The last Queen of France before the French Revolution was a woman of incredible beauty. But her beautiful head rolled under the guillotine when she was just 38.
Charlotte Brontë
The English novelist and poet, who was also the eldest of the famed Brontë sisters, was definitely a stunner.
Nikola Tesla
The famous inventor Nikola Tesla made leaps and bounds in the field of technology during the 19th and 20th century, coming up with everything from the famous Tesla Coil to hydroelectric power. Despite his good looks and incredible success, Tesla remained a bachelor all his life so as to dedicate himself more fully to his work.
