[QUOTE="Snowman Cometh, post: 12793317, member: 83302"]Thank you. You know your stuff. This is the way people back in the day remembered their loved ones. I have a few. I personally think the woman is the grand mother, she looks to old to have been the mother. She must have been devastated. The guy selling it was making fun of people who buy things like this. He told me a price. I tried to get him to lower it. Later on, I sent my wife to try to get him to lower it. But, he actually raised the price for her. So, I went back and bought it for the original price. If I wanted to sell it, I could make some money. But, this is a keeper. I have to figure out a way to show both sides. The photos seem to be glued (since 1927) to the page. I no longer think these are post mortem photos. That must be some sort of set up for taking a photo of a new born, because the date on the large photo is April 16, 1927, and the photos on the back are May 25, 1927. That baby would not look like that if it were passed for over a month. Well, I screwed up on this. It's still neat. They're no longer sad. That's a live baby.[/QUOTE]
