What About Your Pictures?
Yesterday, the society had a guest speaker whom talked about how to identify the time period and approximate age of one's pictures.
As Genealogists this is sometimes very important to establish some events correctly.
Fashion generally is one of the best way to determine time period, besides type of picture or film or mounting used.
We learned of : Standup Collars, lay down collars, ties, scarves, Mutton sleeves, slender sleeves, bustles, peplums, wise shoulders, narrow armholes, knife pleats, wide pleats, narrow waists, pleats to collar, pleats to bust line, gathered narrow skirt, wide skirt that required metal hoops.
Waistcoats, day coats, different style of mens slacks, very high waisted. Wide lapels, narrow ones,
high collars, Style of belts, neck pieces, hats, scarves, gloves for men, gloves for women and children.
It is always nice to hear someone else describe this fashion realm that has been going on since the beginning of time.
The persons hand out was well written, and being of her own, I am going to say one of my favorite places to look is on this web page. There were a few handouts left for those whom may want them.
Enjoyed this refresher course. Thanks
