You never know what you might discover when you share a hundred year old photo ... Community member Earl H. shared this photo in 2015 of Fae Smith taking the equivalent of a selfie over 100 years ago. Earl knew the name of the woman but had no other details.
The very next day another member recognized the photo and commented that she had a copy of the same photo and thatit was her mother-in-law. She was able to share that it was taken in late 1915 or early 1916 in Nebraska.
She was "surprised and pleased to see that someone else values family photos" and Earl found out more about this 100 year old photo.
Love she is like me my first paycheck I bought a camera I was that was in the 58 and now I have pictures of little babies that not even the mother has those pictures I have pictures of everything that I like
Here's a pic of my Dad doing the same thing: taking a picture of the photographer...late 1940's or early 1950's outside our back door on Joline Avenue in Long Branch, New Jersey.
About 1912 to maybe 1918 based on her dress. She looks like her hair is bobbed which would have been starting to happen then. Could be later if she was wearing clothes from a few years back. Can anybody identify the model/year of the box camera?
I have a copy of this photo as this was my mother-in-law!! There is no date on my copy, but I am guessing that it was taken in late 1915 or early 1916, as she was married in the fall of 1915 in Nebraska.
This looks like an old Kodak "pocket" camera, a camera with an accordion bellows that extended but also could be collapsed and then shut tight with a latch. The camera in questions was marketed to consumers, but slightly pre-dates the Brownie camera, which truly popularized personal photography. If this is hypothesis is true, the time period would have been shortly before WWI. I have 2 similar cameras, and perhaps the most interesting/trivial thing about them is that they are bound in leather, and that the leather ages in a peculiar way, almost like a patina.
Fae (Smith) Lance was born to Andrew Smith and Bessie Brittain. Fae Smith married Jean Lance. Family, friend, or fan, this family history biography is for you to remember Fae (Smith) Lance.

Etiquette used to dictate that it would be "a disgrace to venture out of the house without a hat and gloves" and it was not unusual at the turn of the 20th century for both men and women to change the...
