The primitive beauty of the major cities in the world
See the modern New York, peaceful Tokyo or the magnificent Parisian capital . you wonder what these early childhood cities would look like. Let's come to the picture below to know this.
Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
Rio de Janeiro was discovered by a Portuguese expedition in 1565.
But it was not until 1711 that the city of Rio de Janeiro was formed and surrounded Guanabara Bay - Brazil's second largest bay.
And so far, Rio de Janeiro has become one of the six largest cities in America, and is a place that attracts many visitors each year.
New York - USA
Not many people know that New York City was formerly named New Amsterdam - the colony of Dutch colonialists.It was not until 1664 that the British gained control of the city and changed its name to New York.
Around 1870 - 1915, New York became an economic center.The population has since increased sharply - from 1.5 million people to more than 5 million residents in about 40 years.
From there, the city government decided to invest in infrastructure expansion, starting with the construction of the Manhattan bridge connecting Manhattan - now a New York city district.
Today, New York City is America's most populous place with 8.5 million people.
Tokyo - Japan
This wooden painting is the image of Tokyo in 1868 - called Edo.
The beauty of the river and the poetic mountain of Mount Fuji in the distance of Edo at that time went into many works of art.
By 1905, the city of Tokyo completed the industrialization process.This is the city image after winning the war with the Russian Empire (1904-1905).
Today, Japan's capital has become one of the busiest cities in the world, with 13 million people living.
Paris - France
Archaeologists think that Paris was founded by Parisii people - a Celtic race in 250 BC.
They created Île de la Cité, now the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.
In the early 1400s, when the painting was born, Paris was one of the largest cities in Europe at that time.In the picture is Palais de la Cité - the castle was built on the area Île de la Cité above.
Today's Paris is one of the most poetic cities in the world.

Sydney was founded in 1788. This is what appeared in this city in 1792 - a quiet, primitive look .
By 1844, the population was 39,000.
