In Did women of the late 19th century go out of their way to look homely? RickJay noted that “I googled “nineteenth century photos” and it was trivially easy to find pictures of women who were obviously beautiful…”.
I could not find a previous thread (or the many previous threads) on this topic. So, for starters, Lillian Russell in 1890.
It will be trivially easy to find NSFW work photos, and kiddie photos, but can we try at first for 19th century SFW adults. Thank you.
I just posted all these pics in that thread - a selection of beautiful ladies from that era:
One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Six
Seven
Eight
Nine
Ten
Eleven

Famous hoties of their day. Would they be today?
At work I have the 1911 (I know, eleven years worth of thread hijack) yearbook from my alma mater (Agnes Scott). It’s a women’s college. The women were hot, and also cool and interesting and everything else. Tomorrow I will make scans for you.
More Evelyn Nesbit. (I wrote my senior thesis on the Stanford White murder trial-the local history museum had the Thaw family papers in their archives.)
Lillian Russell is extremely attractive.
Lillie Langtry unfortunately resembles a truly awful woman I work with. I wonder if Langtry had adenoids, whined and was as dumb as dirt. 
Wanna be that necklace…
Wow. Her and Evelyn Nesbit are the best ones posted so far, IMHO.
Lola Montez, OTOH, looks sort of like Michael Jackson circa 2003.
It is borderline as she was born 2/12/1884 but would Alice Lee Roosevelt Longworth (Theodore’s oldest daughter, from his first marriage)
She was considered a great beauty and her debut was national news in 1902.
