http://www.retronaut.co/2011/08/victorian-husbands-and-wives/ One blogger already wrote one of my observations: some of them definitely look related. Or could it be that the photog's techniques make then look alike? Felt I was prying. I can see why the Amish feel photographs steal their souls. Edited by Amanda, Jul 6 2012, 11:18 AM.

What a colorful old couple, Dan! You can see so much in their expressions. The old man looks mischievous and his rather younger wife, looks mild-mannered and sweet. Thanks! |

He was the third (and final) husband. She did quite well with her 2nd, and brought a tidy sum to the union. |
