This one is from about 1910. The baby is my maternal grandmother, Sadie Van Der Weele
The print is likely a contact print from a 5x7 negative.

My maternal great-grandfather, H.B. Saylor. I'm guessing taken in the late 1800's, based on the clothing.

I just find it amazing that we can take basically the same camera, same lens, almost same chemistry, and do all the same things they did back when there were not airplanes, there was a civil war in US, Lincoln had an actual portrait. its so crazy to think about.
These are amazing pieces of historical photos! I'm from another country on other side of the world so 100 years ago, there were not photos. Maybe a painting somewhere. Who knows.

Peter, I have to say I find it fun that your grandmother was that age when my Viennese father was 2. I'm trying to make history portraits today; in fact, having failed to make but a few this past year, it will be my focus for this year, along with some video interviews for the same purpose.

djdister, I have never seen a prop like that. Looks like something from the succeeding century.

Be more careful than I
Perhaps 1980 I bought a very expensive JVC 3 piece Video Cam
Used full size VHS, good gear
Took it to La Rue WI all family Reunion on our 80 acres
Lot's of people, we had a motorhome to camp in the woods' far from the madding crowd
My wife erased it
My second wife also tore up my pictures of NOT HER

Sadie and Eugene De Smidt, 1929

Great idea for a thread.
Two of my great-grandparents (the couple in the back row), with the rest of my great-grandmother's family.
They were married in 1895, so probably when they were courting, around 1890 to 1895. Bideford is in Devon, in the UK.
