“A three second exposure meant that subjects had to stand very still to avoid being blurred, and holding a smile for that period was tricky. As a result, we have a tendency to see our Victorian ancestors as even more formal and stern than they might have been.”
WOW, I REALLY LIKE THIS.
Until now I honestly didn’t believe people of that period ever smiled.
This just makes ME smile.

I don’t think I have ever seen a Victorian era picture of anyone smiling, or laughing. This is so awesome!
