Image title	Pic shows: One of the photographs from between 1900-1910 in China's capital Beijing. The trend for taking "selfies" shows no sign of letting up and is popular with pop stars, politicians and even members of the Royal Family these days. But these extraordinary pictures show the craze actually started more than 100 years ago. We unearthed this collection of incredible personal snaps taken in Beijing, China’s capital city between 1900 and 1911 during the Qing Dynasty and they clearly show the ancient equivalent of a decent selfie. What the great Chinese leaders of the past may have thought of these humorous pictures taken all over the city at revered ancient monuments is open to debate, but we can be certain of one thing – the subjects and the cameraman were having fun. The selection shows tourists and locals smiling and posing at famous historical sites like the Ming Tombs, Beijing Summer Palace and the famous Bridge of Nine Turnings. Other pictures show a member of the same family cheekily posing by stone statues of a lion, a camel and a horse. The humour in the pictures is easy to see and so different from the normal formal posed family shots that you used to see in that era. As you would expect all the pictures are in black and white and give us an enchanting glimpse into China’s last imperial era which ended in 1911. We don't know what happened to the happy chappy in many of the shots but we are sure he is still smiling. Some notable sites are: 01 + 02: Temple of Heaven 06: Memorial archway, today known as Beihai Park. 07: Nine-dragon wall in Beihai Park 08: Jingshan Park 09: Pavilion next to the Church of the Savior. 10: Beijing Ancient Observatory 11: Shiqikong Bridge in Beijing's Summer Palace 12: Kunming Lake in Beijing's Summer Palace 13, 14, : Summer Palace, Beijing 15: Foreign tourist stands at the foot of Beijing's Yuquan Mountain 17: Beijing's Yonghe Temple 18: Guozijian, Beijing's imperial college used throughout the three last Chinese dynasties 20, 21: Ming tombs 22, 23: Western Qing tombs 27: Beijing's bridge of nine turnings (ends)
