actually, i think they could have head-piled if it weren’t for the hats!
I think this one’s kinda cool, actually. In most of the *really* old photos I’ve seen, the people just stand there. In this, they’re actually a little animated.
Very true. Especially a few years earlier. Photos took, possibly multiple seconds to minutes to make, so they would have to hold still for a while. This is quite an amazing photo for that time period. And think! They daughters could have been so proud knowing this would be in the books for prosperity, 120 years later!
You can sooo tell who’s idea this pose was…
“We call ouselves ‘The Aristocrats’!
Haha, okay that made me laugh!
wow, a pic from 1890!
awesome!
This is an awesome pic. Like someone else said, by 1890, exposure times were not that long so they did not have to hold this pose forever.
I totally love the clothes too!
Next stop, the chiropractor!
I didn’t know they had digital cameras back then! *head tilt*
It looks like it was Dad’s idea
) !!!
Those ladys’ hats and frocks are amazing. Even regular people looked chic and sophisticated back then.
Women looked creepy back then. And you know when this picture’s done, this guy’s tying all of them to the railroad tracks.
