Do the pictures on your walls have stories?
Write them on the backside.
One day in 100+ years, those pictures may end up at a thrift store.

I wish I knew the story of this crayon portrait purchased from Goodwill in Appleton, WI.
I have questions about those sad faces.
That must be intentional.

Is this a photo that has been colored with crayon, or is it a painting done in crayon to look like a photo? -Phil

Called a Crayon Portrait which is colored pencils over early enlargements of photos. Depending on the person doing the coloring, some really look like photos until you look closely. https://www.picturerenewal.com/blog/photographys-first-enlargements
