1. If someone had gone back and said “One day, we’ll put this photo digitally onto the internet onto a blog” I wonder what they would’ve thought, haha, had the concept been explained to them.

   What year is this from–early 1900s? Take care.

   1. I don’t have a year, but yes, early 1900s

2. My goodness! Were they immigrants?

   1. From Nova Scotia, which doesn’t feel like it should count

3. hard times no doubt

4. People from back in the day seem to never really welcome a photograph of themselves! The shawl is hand-tatted, yes? I wonder if she made it, or if it was bequeathed by a loved one. A lovely photo — what a lucky find!

   1. I think the shutter speed was so slow on early cameras that they were told not to smile so they could maintain the same facial expression. Yes, the shawl has to be handmade. A great find indeed!

5. I love it they look like the could be fun but you’d have to work for it 💜💜💜

   1. I agree

6. She looks stern.

7. Pretty cool
