Photography flower girl

Are there really fairies and elves with wings in the world? What do the British people think about the five fairy photos taken by two little girls 100 years ago?

They say all the pictures have the truth. What else is there to say? Even Conan Doyle, the creator and novelist of Sherlock Holmes, believed it, and wrote a special book "Elf Arrival".

Innocent little girl, surrounded by dancing elves.

100 and 19 17 On an ordinary afternoon, a pair of sisters 16-year-old Elsie and 9-year-old cousin Francesco walked briskly in the Woods by the stream behind their house and didn't forget to take them with them when they left.

Father looked at their backs and told them to pay attention to safety, cameras, go home early, and then go back to do their own thing.

Half an hour later, the two sisters came back, threw the camera to dad and asked him to develop the photos he had just taken, saying that they had met a fairy.

British town

Father smiled and shook his head, not seriously. Little girls are always full of naive fantasies, and such things happen every day.

However, when he was developing photos in the darkroom, he really found several winged, translucent and elf-like elves around the girl.

first

This is the first photo. Behind the little girl is a gurgling stream behind the house. She held her chin in her hand, with a smile on her face and her eyes fixed on the front. On the trunk in front, it seems that there are four elves with butterfly wings fighting.

The first photo was taken in June, and in September, my father found the second photo.

Second pages

This is the second photo. There is a little dwarf with funny looks and legs on the grass. It is coming to the little girl's hand, and the little girl smiles at it. They seem to have known each other for a long time.

There are five such photos, which his wife brought to Shenxue Society on 19 19, causing a sensation.

Quite vivid.

Mysterious photos are generally considered to be true.

Now we are everywhere. Looking at these photos from God's perspective, they must be fake at first glance. Even a layman can see that the light is wrong and the elf is too stiff.

However, the photography technology, imaging technology and printing technology before 100 years ago are far worse than now. Moreover, Kodak company identified them and found no signs of forgery. The photographer also said that the negative was completely authentic and had not been modified during the printing process.

How can a child lie? This does not exist in fairy tales. At that time, the British people thought that the photos were real and the elves were real. This beauty is worth remembering. They call these elves "the elves of Cotinley".

Among them, Conan Doyle, a household name, is the most trusted and even the most fanatical. He is the creator of Sherlock Holmes. He is meticulous and different from ordinary people, but he is willing to be cheated by these two little girls.

He is a Zock and believes in the theory of elves and ghosts. After learning about this, he went to see the sisters specially, and when he came back, he wrote with emotion:

"The dancers in the photo are obviously legendary elves, and their appearance has brought magic to every deep mountain canyon. Any walk in this country may bring us romantic adventures. "

wizard

60 years later, the truth came out and Conan Doyle died.

1983, 60 years have passed since the photo incident. By this time, Conan Doyle had fallen asleep with the fact that there were elves in the world and no one was staring at them. True or false is not so important, but it is more meaningful to heal people's hearts.

Frances, a 9-year-old girl at that time, is now a white-haired old lady. In an interview with reporters, she told the truth: The photo is indeed true, but the elf was copied by my cousin from a book called A Gift from Princesse Marie.

Cut it out of this book

Cousin is unique. She drew little wings on the figure, cut it out, took it to the Woods, found a good position and fixed it with a pin, and then took a picture of "supernatural contact".

But the old lady still insisted that she and her sister had seen real elves in the forest.

Westerners like elves.

The world is often not beautiful, with wars, diseases and misfortunes.

In the 1920s, Britain had just experienced World War I, which brought pain to the people of the whole country, so people would pin their hopes on those seemingly "ethereal" illusory things.

Meeting fairies and flower fairies is every girl's dream. The "pranks" of the young ladies are not malicious, and they have not brought trouble to the society. On the contrary, how many people are comforted by their beauty or even better fairies.

Will there be Thumbelina ~

Today, Cottingley, the hometown of the two sisters, has been turned into a fairy tale theme park, and a fairy tale festival is held every year. Many adults and children with spiritual dreams come here, and maybe they can really meet the elves that only they can see.
