Comment on Painted baby, carte-de-visite by Edmund G. Ganly of Dublin, 1860s by tatteredandlost

I imagine some child who fancied themselves an artist decided to add the scrawl on the face. Then again, perhaps the original “artist” decided their attempt at painting was not too successful and in a fit of “oh what the…” just gave up and scrawled the scratches. Either way it makes for an interesting original one of a kind piece.

I just noticed you have a photo of a dog sitting on a chair and it’s the same chair!

Hi I have a photograph taken at F H Mares of a woman who is from my family but I am having dating her. If I sent you a copy of the photograph would you be able to help? I think it was taken probably in the 1860s.

Fascinating blog with loads of information. Great just to scroll and look at old photos – even if we have no idea who the people are, hours of interest in imagining lives and worlds of long ago.

I have a picture of my father who was a Police Officer in the N.Y.P. D . It appears to be him as a rookie officer about 1924. I would like to restore this 6-1/2″ picture if possible

With her vacant stare she looks like a doll.

I’m in NJ in the USA and I’m having my garage roof repaired since it got damaged in Hurrican Sandy – The roofers just found an old photo that was taken at Lloyd’s on Grafton Street. I have no idea who the person is.
