Interesting stuff, as always, Keith. These images all have a unique quality to them. Possibly the way they were printed? In the early 70's, Rod Stewart had an album titled "Every Picture Tells a Story" and that's so true. But if you don't know the story - make one up! Works for me, I love it! Seriously, thanks for your research and sharing with us.
Hi Keith , the last image shown is classic Art Nouveau (1890-1910) going by the design on the mount. It's also odd to me that the gentleman are always seated whilst the woman stands.
Oh good thinking about the design style of the mount! I agree that it's strange the men would sit while women stood -- maybe just a portrait fashion of the time? Or maybe it made sense to have the shorter person stand to keep the composition compact?
The photo you made a story for…. I have an ending for it. …And their dog ate the corner of the photo😅. I loved your pictures! My 80+ year old neighbor gave me an old photo album of her family . Ever hear of the Hatfields and the McCoys? The pictures are of the McCoys! Very old pics in a. Very old album. Many are in those folder picture frames.
@@Keithdotson I work at an antique mall, and see lots of old photos, I’m gonna look for more chair fringe! I’ll also pay attention to the other features you pointed out in the video, THANKS!
I enjoy looking at very antique photo's. The older the better thru the 1950 's. But one thing I don't really understand, are the photos with people, who are deceased. That include living (mostly family) people with them. Some of these people are proped up for the photo. I don't why they did this. But when I 've pulled up other of sites of old photos I've seen them. I don't remember the Era, maybe Victorian. I just can't remember
They did make photos of deceased people in those days for sure, but they also propped living people against a brace so they could hold still. Those very early cameras took a long time to expose a photo, sometimes more than a minute. That's a long time to hold steady.
I love looking at old photos,and stories behind them😊

I believe that (especially in wedding photos) it was to show off the woman’s dress more.

Oh wow! That is so cool! Thanks for telling me
Ansel's chair had the same type fringe on the arm as the one in the 2 brothers' photo. Interesting.
That is interesting! I wonder how old the chair was when he used it.

I have a collection of portraits from 1907. All standing with hand on chair, full length portraits.
That’s interesting!
I always thought that Oliver Hardy wore a bowler and Stan Laurel wore a Derby. They do look different.
You may be right!
