We think that because the photos are black and white, but really that Era was alive with color .....

I prefer the sepia photographs, I have quite a few of my ancestors and always think they look so much better than colour!
I've read a little bit about the development of colors back in the day. I think the more money you had, the more colorful you could dress. Because more dramatic colors came from over seas and cost much more than plain colors.
This was taken circa 1913. I love the clothes in this one.

Not umbrellas but parasols to keep the sun from their face. As to why, who knows.
The umbrellas were used not only when it was raining but in the sun too. Remember back then tanned skin was not fashionable.. The paler a woman skin was the better and Freckles.. They were horrifying. LOL
Not umbrellas. Parasols. Umbrellas for rain, parasols for sun. A parasol wouldn't be waterproof.

These would have been ladies of substance. Their family had money, right? Cause my country kin aren't dressed like this in their photos.

Great picture ! Im guessing they are wearing their second best dresses . The woman standings dress shows lots of wear . I like how they are no fuss dresses that are totally functional . Bu t Im looking at them from a reenactors point of view .
Sorry Laura but you must have amazing vision..... where abouts is the 'lots of wear' on the standing womans' dress? I can't see anything apart from the dress' pattern and texture. My eyes must be really bad. :/
Carol look where its buttoned up . Ive worn dresses from the 1830s and 1860s . When they get worn alot they dont stay as crisp as the should or hold their shape properly. I love the photo as it depicts working class women. Its a great research tool .😃
Parosols need to return...good for the sun,lovely fashion accessory and poking a misbehaving beau....ahahahaha..kidding about the last bit...yes.lol
Yes parasol should in deed come back. and yes why not scares the beau away when they misbehave? hahahahahah lol
1880's family photo. My Great Grandmother, and her Daughter.
Beautiful!! Lucky you for having this!! It's not 1880s though; closer to 1890s... Hats were rather small in the 80s and the shoulders were natural; the young woman's clothing (she's more likely to represent the times) seems mid 90s to me.

I am fairly certain this is a post mortem photo. The way the bodies are unnaturally posed and they always used chairs and front props to pose the bodies. Not to be weird but I would be this is one.
