I was going through dressers, closets, etc., and came across an envelope filled with probably 80 or more antique photographs. There were 2 postcards, postmarked 1912, and 1914. I believe the photographs are mid 1800's. Some of them had the identies of the subjects listed on the back of them, and some said, "unidentified". That's sad to me. Some of them say things like, "presumably the daughter of .......". There are some photos of folks that we know. My husband's grandfather and uncles, his father's baby picture, which is identical to my husband's baby picture. They look like identical twins!! We think that my husband's paternal grandfather probably had this collection of photographs. Most of them are on the hard card type paper. There are a few tin types. Here are a few of the photographs. Sweet baby picture. Have you ever noticed that in the antique photos, no one smiles? I can imagine this being an old maid ...
