    Quite a group of groups! I looked through the photographs first. I knew that those were students at an "Indian School". I thought the last bunch were nurses before I read the info.

    A fine collection of various groups from servicemen to towel workers with Baroness Marie von Trapp and her daughters thrown in for good measure. ('scuse the pun) ;)

    It is interesting to see the variety of attitudes expressed by the individuals in the group photos. The military guys are looking in different directions and poses, the choir group doesn't seem very joyful, the von Trapps do, and the last seems a typical formal group photo. You always chose interesting photos to share.

    Some of them look so happy, even the dog.

    I find it interesting to see how different photographers through the ages arranged people for a "formal" photograph. Depending on the site, subjects can be placed in ordered rows or allowed to find their own place. The soldiers were tricky because their hat brims could cast a shadow over the face. The von Trapp family were professional entertainers who knew how to smile for the camera.

    Before reading the caption, I knew all those von Trapp people were related, except for Maria of course, their step-mother. These are a great collection on the theme. Who know towel makers wore such garments...or perhaps only for photos.

 It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas For this week's Sepia Saturday I thought I'd share photos from my visit to Old World Wisconsin. Last week a friend and I visited this historic site in Eagle, Wisconsin to see it's Christmas festivities. Old World Wisconsin is a place where they've gathered and restored buildings from the 19th Century. In December on the weekend's they're open to show visitors how Christmas was celebrated over 100 years ago. In the town's church, which was the first Catholic church in Milwaukee, visitors could sing carols. The performers read a Christmas passage from a Little House on the Prairie book. They also brought kids up from the audience and they read "The Night Before Christmas." Ready for Christmas morning. This room is set up for a cobweb party. Each guest has a color of string and they have to unravel the string to get to their Christmas gift. I wonder what other kinds of parties they had back then. This l
