    I agree. So many of them look taxidermied to me. Except, maybe, for the faces.

    I always wonder about abuse when I see old funny animal pictures...

    That is a precious photograph.

    I'm certain someone in the past dearly loved those two children and the photograph.

    I always think about the whys and hows of something precious like this comes to be sold anywhere. It makes me sad...

    True, Mak. I like the idea of their being "adopted" by the eventual purchaser.

    Only if I am antique... ;) but since this is happening now, and its SO beautiful, here I am in Death Valley in 19....well....then... ;) and here is another of what it looks like now with someone I don't know.
    The photo of me is fading out but those flowers were so brightly lavender/purple. Everything was blooming, cactus and all. What a special day! :)

    There will be a couple decades of color photos that just fade away

    They were made to have bright colors when they were new, but no one put any thought into whether that format would hold up. They turned out to be unstable.

    GaleriaGila Hola, y'all!

    Thanks. So, like, the 60s-80s? ALL the color photos? No... just Polaroids?

    Maybe...or the bike and background may have been props to give him the appearance of the privileged class.
