    Could there be a missing character in "E.J. Berwi ND"? If not, what does the "ND" stand for?
  • David Stall said:
    Not a missing letter, but an extra space. Edward Julius Berwind, a famous coal baron. ;-)

You could currently buy a "townhouse" in it. See www.christiesgreatestates.com/properties/view_70156/

    As much as I love photography, I also hate it because we'll never get images like this again. People now are exposed to images of others and have become completely self-conscious and self-aware because of it. Most of these boys had probably only seen a handful of photos at this point. There's still such an easiness in front of the camera - they don't know that they "should" look a certain way. They just look the way they look and people accept them for it. There are a few looking at the camera, but I think it's more out of curiosity than anything else - maybe a feeling of "I can't believe someone's making a picture of me."
