#8 That's the first picture I've seen of Queen Victoria smiling, after Prince Albert died. Sad how much it broke her. She really loved him.

I agree. As fun as seeing inventions literally appear, like photography and electricity, society was repressive to women and working class.

A large part of the reason our ancestors look so downright dour in photographs is they had to hold perfectly still for several minutes.

Also, photos were newer form of painted portraits; try to find a smiling painted portrait. It's a matter of transferring the older tradition

Another large part is that some of the people in Victorian photos are actually dead upon the photo being taken!

I was thinking #10, they're all dead and made into a pile.

Ever seen the invisible mother portraits? Women were covered in a cloth and made to hold their children still (or dead ones up for the pic).

This is a revelation, I didn't think people had fun in the olden days.

Takes dedication to sit that long for long exposure photography.

#4 Is that the Czar?

Yes. His personal albums were apparently full of pictures of him fooling around.

Yeah, that's Nicky. Although I would not be surprised if someone mistook him for Cousin Georgie.

Can you imagine if you were allowed to smile in pictures? You'd look like a crazy person.

Don't think I've ever seen Queen Victoria smiling. If that is her. I can't tell obviously!
