Photography was first invented c 1839. Portraits were very expensive for people to have and families if they could afford would have a group shot. This would be for special occasions, even including after death which may seem rather macabre to us today! I have collected a number of interesting portrait photographs over the years and recently have started to use them to display jewellery. I'm enclosing a few shots for you to enjoy.
I adore old photographs too...Its intriguing to think about who the people were and what sort of life they had...
ReplyDeleteI like your collection of bird brooches.

Your brooches are beautiful, I love the way you have used the old photographs. I love old photo's and always wonder about the people in them......the old lady looks rather stern!!
