    What a fabulous find.
    Please not EVERY man in this shot is wearing a waistcoat.
    The horizontal striped stockings are a bit much for my taste but then I never was one to follow the fashion of the moment.

    The kid clearly moved instead of staying still for the photo!

    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.

    "Let His Loyalty and Devotion be a Lesson to Us All" Bobby was a Skye Terrier whose master, John Gray, died in 1858. Bobby was so devoted to his master that for fourteen years Bobby lay on the grave in Greyfriars Cemetery , leaving only for food. Baroness Angelia Georgina Burdett-Coutts, President of the Ladies Committee of the RSPCA, visited Edinburgh on several occasions to see Bobby. The Baroness received permission from the City Council to erect a granite fountain with a statue of Bobby on top by the graveyard as a lasting memorial to the loyal little terrier Bobby. The original sculpture is in the Museum of Edinburgh. Greyfriars Bobby -- Download the classic 1912 book by Eleanor Atkinson from the ManyBooks.net website. (Digitized by Project Gutenberg.)
