That look you get when you realize the Fourth of July is on a Thursday and you have to go back to work on Friday.

At such a young age I always wonder what could they really know?

And "American Gentry II". Is that an Hawaiian shirt? A can of Bud replaces the cane.

Couldn't click 'like' on that one.
People actually show up at a church like Gentry II.

This one just speaks volumes to me.

My grandfather sold a car in the depression because he couldn't afford a battery for it.
Buying a car?
He told me to always check the condition of the trunk. That will speak volumes about the care the car was given.

Of these three I really like the one of Quinton Crocker. He really has that 19th century look down, I think.

Here's another favorite picture of Jeff Richter:

A lot more than those of tender years know today.
How to supply the table with that iron in his belt, for one thing.

Colored Tintype Photography

Trying to establish a timeline for this photograph, tintype photography was popular in the 1860's - 1870's & continued to be used up into the early 1900's. Hand coloring of tintype was most popular in the mid to late 1800's. Albumen prints were beginning to replace tintype & becoming the norm by the mid 1860's.

What catches my eye are the hat, the wide lapel & fancy bow tie, & the lack of facial hair for the era.

I wonder if Crystal occasionally gets a whiff of cigar smoke?

Maybe, unless they do permanents there.
