#1 Ah, 1905, the year of my dear late father's birth. The women were sullen, sort of, just like all young women at that age and stage. Damn but I'm feeling old tonight. Where did the years go? Goodnight and joy be with you all.

#2 Actually smiling for a photograph didn't start until personal photography with portable film cameras started coming along. If you look at the photos from the Civli War period until the early 20th century you won't see much in the way of smiles. Due to the slow speeds the plate photographers discouraged smiling and also a photograph session was considered a serious business.

Mine was 1909. "He began his working life behind the plow."
