Jeremy Osborn

5/10 from my series of 19th century photos

Family dinner most likely somewhere in Western Massachusetts in the 1890s.

Only the gentleman in the center got the memo about standing still for the photo.

5/10 detail

I got very interested in what sort of food was being served up this day, as was the cat.

@jeremyosborn makes me think: 19th Century, "This is fine."

@jeremyosborn I'm drawn to the various hanging things - newspapers, rags, an ear of corn, other stuff not as identifiable.

@bit101 Yes! This is the time-travel part, the high resolution negatives and scans are useful here.

@jeremyosborn Some years ago I was in an antique store and bought a box full of old photos like this for almost nothing. I don't know where they are now. Somewhere in the basement probably. When I die, someone will dig them up and sell them to an antique store.
