1884 tin type photo album

[Oldasdirt]

I found this album and another weird thing is when it became detached from the cover there was some kind of secret message on the spine written in old English font and with some letters I have never seen before

Looks like the guy on the right is dead.

Very neat old picture! Very interesting pose to say the least. I honestly would think this was a "memento mori" post mortem photo, but you can usually see more signs. The way the guy is sitting in the chair looks normal, but the young man sitting up on the "desk" is strange. During post mortem photo shoots this wouldnt have been a strange pose at all. Pose the dead man in the chair and gather the loved ones around as close as possible. I'm personally saying this is just an interesting pose. Very cool, I love old pictures!

I don't think that he is dead. But, he does look like he got hammered the night before the picture was taken.

I don't want to break this to hard to you but everybody in that photo is dead. Including the photographer.

Most people in old photos are dead now. My grandmother left my mother (now 92) a photo album with lots of old tintypes and daguerotypesl. It was interesting seeing photos of the family and figuring out what part of the family tree they belonged to.
