My husband has just inherited lots of photos of his family which date back to the Edwardian era and there was even one which looked like a group of gypsies but we have no idea who they are as we'd never seen the picture before and now the only one who would know is no longer here.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12238571735302117986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-90620980633864425102013-10-04T13:07:57.379-04:002013-10-04T13:07:57.379-04:00The first recorded account I have of my interest i...The first recorded account I have of my interest in history and all things vintage actually has to do with old photographs. According to my paternal grandma, at the worldly age of two, I would pull her albums of old family snapshots off the shelf, but instead of using them as play things or worse, wrecking them, as many a toddler (quite understandably) might have, she says that I would sit on the couch and be enthralled by (looking at) them for hours, asking her a seemingly endless stream of questions about nearly every one (and she tells me that she sweetly answered them all - aww!). I was hooked then and have remained so ever since. I feel such a special bond with old photos and still spend a decent chunk of each week looking at them (online, usually) now that I'm all grown up. <br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-2212707699674398542013-10-04T12:45:30.181-04:002013-10-04T12:45:30.181-04:00and yes, I like (ha ha love) taking pictures!and yes, I like (ha ha love) taking pictures!Emmett Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11433981956961537502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-60559991903453522542013-10-04T12:45:07.923-04:002013-10-04T12:45:07.923-04:00that exhibit is one I'd love to see. i love lo...that exhibit is one I'd love to see. i love looking at old photographs, they have so much mystery to them.

In (modern) archaeology, we focus NOT on the big treasures and 'important' (read 'famous') people, but on recreating the lives of the everyday person, for that's what most of history (and prehistory) contains. These photos are wonderful examples of what that connection can create, the understanding and insight it gives us into our past and our present selves.graverobbergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13863800265600683329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-53621799036581030442013-10-03T19:36:11.228-04:002013-10-03T19:36:11.228-04:00Lovely post!
