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.

@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.
