Some comic did a funny bit about how people act when you hand them your camera to take a picture. “What do I do? What do I press?”
IT’S THE SILVER BUTTON ON THE TOP RIGHT!!! Same place it’s been for 130 years!!!!

Quite an article. The look into the past is fascinating. Just how much of their time did upper class women spend dressing. Were they, and the men, trying to make themselves uncomfortable. Hot weather must have been difficult.

I think a number of those photos were taken on Sundays. But, also, people cared more about how they dressed back in the day unlike today. If they could see us today they’d think we look like a bunch of slobs.

Great article. It sure would be nice if the state-run media complex in the USA would write articles as well as this one.

Except for me, in my Dalek “Exterminate!” t-shirt.

How much time did they spend IRONING? Of course, most households had a “hired girl” to do that, but still. Have you ever been to a museum, or an old estate, and visited the laundry to see the old horrid devices used to achieve those starched and pressed fashions?
Even the maids’ uniforms had to be carefully pressed and pleated, including the aprons and the hats. And there was no such thing as ‘wash and wear’ fabric in those days either.

Downfall: Years later Kodak ... failed to quickly embrace modern technologies such as digital photography, its own invention.
Kodak also "failed to embrace" other technologies ... they turned down Edwin Land's idea of an instant camera so he created Polaroid.
Also turned down Chester Carlson's idea for a copying machine, which led to Xerox.
Duh.

It’s called the “not invented here” syndrome.

Apparently, people were a lot thinner back then.

Was in the car with my daughter yesterday and Paul Simon's Kodachrome came on the radio.
Suddenly it dawned on me that people her age have absolutely not a clue what this song is about.

Faulting Kodak for not getting into the digital CAMERA business is like faulting Ford for not making boats and airplanes.
Transparencies (film, slides, and reproduction), chemistry, paper, this was their trade. They did make cameras but it was to push the repeat business of processing.
They SHOULD have pushed digital publishing as Blurb and others have done. Rather than compete with dozens of camera manufacturers (each line of which is obsolete technology withing 2 years), they could have been pushing products for the tens of thousands of photos each person is now shooting. MILLIONS of images.

Great pictures, thanks for posting!
