If I had known about this thread, I would have borrowed few pictures from our summer cottage and from mom's childhood home and scanned them.

We have nicely kept old photos and one thing I do each summer is to look at all of them. Naturally, back at mom's childhood home, part of the fun is to figure out which uncle or aunt is at the pic... Grin

I got approximately 250 photos from years 1920-1950 but most of them are just family trips Tongue

I scanned only the most interesting ones some time ago and a few examples:

Reply #29 - Jun 25^th, 2008 at 2:31am I just wanted to tell every one who has put up photos to this thread that they are just wonderful. I have really enjoyed these pictures. Is it me or does everyone look much smarter in the old photos than they do today?

Wink

Most likely. They didn't have the stupefying influence of television. Bread and circuses, you know.

I've been scrounging around here, and came up with a couple of daguerotypes of extinct relatives--most likely from the first half of the 19th century--I'll try to post them tomorrow if I can figure out how to make them show up as digital images. You have to hold them...just right...otherwise you can't really see them.

Daguerotypes aren't like photos. I'd elaborate, but I'm not really the one to do so. I'll see if I can get EJ to pontificate about them. She knows a lot more about this stuff than I do.

Meantime, here's my favorite family photo of all time--not really an old one, but one that holds more meaning for me than anything else. The two people in all the world who mean the most to me--on the happiest day of my life:

Okay. Here's one of the daguereotypes that we have--it's an image of my great-grandfather as a young child.

Presumably, it was taken sometime during the American Civil War--my great-grandfather was born in 1861, and he looks to be about three or four in this picture. Imagine getting a three-year-old to sit still long enough for a daguereotype.

Perhaps most poignant to me is the lock of infant hair enclosed, and tied with a bit of blue ribbon.

Sorry about the picture quality--I had to take it with a web cam. Couldn't seem to get a good angle to take a digital photograph, and the scanner just didn't work at all. Daguereotypes are like an image printed on a mirror.
