The little girls look so cute. Makes me wish I had a Tardis.

There was a great pub in Yorkshire that had one of these on their wall. Neat stuff.

I have some wonderful photos taken with a Brownie camera during this same era at a resort in SW Oklahoma, Turner Falls by my great aunt and her friends. Aunt Maud was born in the 1870s in Texas and lived most of her life in Purcell, Indian Territory.

My Tardis is in the shop having its randomizer rebuilt. It keeps landing me in the middle of the Obama administration.

I just love the way the British try to speak English. ;-).

Surprised to see “Xmas” in there. I didn’t think that started till the 60’s.

I love old pictures too. This is my Grandmother with her Grandfather on the 4th of July 1916. He was a Civil War veteran. Grandmother is wearing her school graduation dress that her mother made.

People dressed better and spoke better before TV

I love the English!

These are beautiful pictures. What strikes me is their feeling of spontaneity or candidness, given these are from glass plate negatives, an inherently slower process of picture-taking than the smaller format cameras. Funny though, the 20th century was the century of the small format camera, and yet it took a while for people to “think” small format. Hence, you have countless snapshots, an ocean of them, in which people pose lifelessly, rigidly in front of the camera just as they did by necessity in front of view cameras a century before.

Notice that no-one is overweight.

Wonderful pictures! The little girl with the dog is precious.
