   What a pleasure to see a happy, smiling family of that era. Generally one only sees the sour, dour faces of the 19th century.

     John,
     I never thought of that, but you are so right. They look like they’re having a great time.

     1. It’s artistic license, in that photographs were serious business and sometimes costly. Mirth was not thought proper for portrait shot.
     2. Until the arrival of film and the shutter, a photo required a 20-30 sec exposure; holding a fixed smile long enough would be difficult.

     Cheers

       Thanks, Minicapt,
       I always just thought ancestors were a dour lot.
