    One of my grandmothers, around 1908 I think. I just love this portrait.
    That is a surprisingly informal portrait for the time.
    Your grandmother was a fine looking woman, Peter.
    I would be proud of the print too.

    1908 - Sophia Cornelia Posten 17yrs. flipping off the photographer...

    On the back a note from the photographer "This is silly but I thought you would like to see it just the same."

    That's hilarious!
    So much for my preconceived notion that people didn't have a sense of humor back then...
