Abraham Lincoln and Edgar Allan Poe.
Re: Photos From Long Ago
The Skunk Ape is correct. That is obviously Lincoln and it is Edgar Allen Poe but the two never met in person.
The pic is a fake. It's a mash up used for the ridiculous "Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter" novel. It's been kicking around the net for a while.

Pretty good photo though, both creepy looking guys that could be on the Adams family.

At least everybody that had their picture taken was.

Re: Photos From Long Ago
Yeah, my fathers mother, and her family took a photo of themselves, it looked more scary than any movie out there.
I'm not sure, but I think my mother tossed it out years ago, i would love to have it still.
I have one of my great grandfather in a coffin, looks like Dracula.

I know...Some of those old photos look like Night of the Living Dead. My mom and dad have wedding photos of my great grandparents on both sides and they used to scare me as a child.Blue Frost wrote: ↑July 15th, 2020, 7:33 pm Yeah, my fathers mother, and her family took a photo of themselves, it looked more scary than any movie out there.

And what is it with the eyes that look in different directions? It always seems that at least one person in those old pictures has an eye that gravitates toward magnetic north...
Was it inbreeding or just shitty primitive medical technology?

Re: Photos From Long Ago
The only people who looked happy is the criminals, even the dead ones on display looked better than the living did.

Re: Photos From Long Ago
The 1880’s was a different world. Te Wild West was winding down but still there. It’s an era that isn’t represented much in Hollywood.
Re: Photos From Long Ago
Actually, every western ever made reflects the 1880's, but I think you're talking about the transition period between the 19th and 20th century and that would be true. There are some western movies that give you that sense of transition though. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Big Jake, starring John Wayne has him riding a horse while his son is on a motorcycle, The Grey Fox, was a true story about one of Canada's few old style western train robbers and has scenes like when he went to watch a movie circa 1900's. The feeling is kind of a nostalgic sadness for a disappearing way of life, because the transition seemed so sudden back then. Fast forward to our own generations rapid changes, and I still feel as though the 1960's was a magical time of carefree peace and prosperity set to a backdrop of 'googie style' architecture, soft rock, and soft serve ice cream. Of course it was a horrible time in history for a lot of people, particularly in communist countries.
Re: Photos From Long Ago
I read a book of stories of the Canadian west last year. It was an interesting and enjoyable read. The American railroad went across the country in the 1860’s I believe and this brought the wild west to a close I read though it didn’t end right away. During the Klondike gold rush Soapy Smith in Skagway Alaska may have been the wild west’s last holdout.
Re: Photos From Long Ago
The American wild west is considered to have started proper right after the American Civil War in 1865. It continued through the next 3 decades until the very early 20th century. Most historians of the time period consider the close of the Wild West era to coincide with the execution of Tom Horn on Dec. 3rd 1903.

Re: Photos From Long Ago
It appears to me that the wild west’s many eras were not all identical and that pockets of the wild west continued to exist while other areas were tamed. Perhaps the wild east existed in the 16th and 17th centuries first before gradually moving west.

What that doesn't say is that those 13 young men killed themselves after someone turned the lights on.

That's a nice shiner she's got going there.
Who punched her? Surely not Sir Laurence Olivier. But you never know about those brooding pretty boys.

Re: Photos From Long Ago
More like the Shah of Iran... She is not Vivien Leigh.
Looks a lot like her though.
She seems to have a black eye in many of her pictures.. The camera flash casting a shadow.
