<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Calico, post: 238838, member: 98&quot;]I have several Victorian albums with mostly carte de visite and tintypes.</p><p>Being an antique jewelry collector I love looking through them and admiring the jewels and clothing.</p><p>Here&#039;s a few of my favorites but I have a few questions on a couple of them.</p><p>First, the first young girl just looks so odd, the whole thing seems a painted or drawn print and there are two of them in the album so they were copies. The cat looks totally drawn in.</p><p>Also, why did they put tiny pinpricks in the second baby&#039;s eyes, to make him look more alert ?</p><p>I don&#039;t think it&#039;s a post mortem but on close-up his hands are rather lax and darkened so I don&#039;t know.</p><p>Now, the rest are just fun.</p><p>Check out the jewelry and dresses on these ladies and the gentleman in black is fantastic.</p><p>I really like the last little girl, not only sweet but the woven coverlet she&#039;s sitting on has a twin in my living room.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[ATTACH=full]72763[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]72764[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]72765[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]72766[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]72767[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]72768[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]72769[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]72770[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]72771[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
