Comment by Lady Estelle on May 27, 2011 at 9:53am: That is so true LadyRoxanne. But I am happy that they are givin to sell and not thrown away. You can learn so much about these people by their photo. A true capture of time.

Comment by LadyRoxanne on May 17, 2011 at 7:24pm: Amazing how many PHOTOS are for sale at the Antique mall I work at! It is a bit sad, too, as that means the family members have long "gone on" or do not want the photos!

Yes, I have seen these....on very hard paper and I notice not too many smiles. I have heard that the PHOTO TAKING was such a long extensive ordeal, that by the time the photos were actually taken, sometimes the PEOPLE in them were quite tired. ? maybe being silly and laughing was not proper, I am not sure! :-)
