Thanks!<br /><br />I subscribe to a number of "old photo" sites on various social media feeds - they're just fascinating.<br /><br />And all of those people are gone now.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03463621516644789183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977625681756554695.post-33643665326394905212020-12-17T11:03:49.915-06:002020-12-17T11:03:49.915-06:00If you haven't seen her work before, you shoul...If you haven't seen her work before, you should check out Marina Amaral. (<a href="https://twitter.com/marinamaral2" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/marinamaral2</a>)<br /><br />She has jointly published two amazing books, worked on the Billie Holiday project, and did amazing work with The Faces of Auschwitz.<br /><br />Her work brings an immediacy to these old photographs that I can't really compare to anything else.<br /><br />Also, she likes to find pictures of nude historical figures, which is fun.Random Michelle Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13817444379694818074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977625681756554695.post-80676444635791320482020-12-13T19:33:16.389-06:002020-12-13T19:33:16.389-06:00Rude of me, isn't it? ;)
I've seen Van B...Rude of me, isn't it? ;)<br /><br />I've seen Van Buren before, and older portraits of John Brown and Frederick Douglass but not those younger ones. Lewis Cass surprised me immensely - the man is downright homely, which would not fly in a presidential campaign today no matter how talented or dedicated he was (sad to say).<br /><br />I had originally planned to include the 1860 presidential candidates as well, but it got too long and too late.<br /><br />Stephen Douglas looks like a disgruntled elf. Lincoln doesn't have his beard yet. John Breckinridge looks like Little Lord Fauntleroy. And John Bell is an absolute dead ringer (see what I did there?) for a local folk singer whom I have actually booked into concerts down at Home Campus - that took me by surprise, I must admit.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03463621516644789183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977625681756554695.post-79834608647058255632020-12-13T05:59:48.148-06:002020-12-13T05:59:48.148-06:00Two.

I only recognized two - Van Buren and Dred Scott - Three others I've seen other images of but still didn't recognize them.<br /><br />History, thy first love is Irony.<br /><br />And I lied. I didn't go back to bed yet cause some insensitive soul posted something really good on your blog.<br /><br />More like this! (It's an old tune, but one I can hum through sheer repetition. Sorry.)
