Amazing to think that with such cold waters the film didn't retriculate.

Frank Hurley was probably the luckiest photographer who ever lived. On the Endurance expedition, he dove into the Antarctic waters to retrieve his glass-plate negatives from the slowly sinking ship, then survived the months-long trek and wait for rescue. He had to leave behind most of his exposed plates because they were too heavy to carry, so he buried them in the ice and snow. Years later, he returned to Antarctica and retrieved them--and all of his photos survived.

I am pleased he was so lucky - his photographs are wonderful. His work from Antarctica and New Guniea is inspriational.

wow! what a story

two people with lots of wisdom between them..she is standing showing to me that he rules the house....

By my calculations, if this woman is about 70, she was coming of age during the Regency, one of my favorite eras. There's a bit of an 1830s influence in her dress as it is. :D

I agree with Miss History. The style of the cap she is wearing is definitely early 1800s. The ruffled edge is pervasive through about 1850. Just as today when many women don't change their hair styles after they finish school, women of that time wore the same type of caps for their whole lives.

These two are probably from the 1700s.
