    wonderful. I've seen a similar portrait at his house in Vailima Apia, Samoa where he is looking at the camera. perhaps there was a series of images taken at the time.

    Brilliant to see the Galleries on the Commons! Just thought I would make a reciprocal connection between this image and the Robert Louis Stevenson set on our Flickr account [http://www.flickr.com/photos/nlscotland/sets/72157604377830216/]

    The kid clearly moved instead of staying still for the photo!
  • Irishgirl355 said:
    This has happened I think to all of us trying to capture children. They move and you end up with an image much like this one. What an honor it is to view these images from the 1800's. So impressed with the quality and integrity of the images taken over a hundred years ago.
  • Christine's Backyard said:
    How many of our photos will be around in a hundred year's time?

    So happy I'm not the only one with a child that moves during picture's. But even beyond that the expressions on their faces tell the story as well.
