The Past in Review: More Photo Resources

If you're interested in period photographs, do spend some time with the daguerrotypes and photographs of families, couples, houses, military scenes and more offered on these sites:

• the Daguerrian Society's site,
  
• the Earthly Angels blog,
  
• the Hugh Mangum collection ca 1890-1922, housed at Duke University (zoomable, so you can see details!)
  

The images can be so evocative. I caught myself smiling at some of the faces; others I studied in fascination, wondering what lay just outside the bounderies of the photographs.
