remember the amount of time it took to take a photo during most of the times represented.

People had to sit still and "look natural" for a while, therefore a lot of these pictures are "posed" especially the ones that are really sharp and crisp. My friend is really into old photography and he likes to look through these old photos and look for "blurs" where someone moved...

Thanks for posting this, I thoroughly enjoyed the pictures. They would be fun to hang in a sewing room.

That was so interesting. I'm going to look for a picture I have of my dad. He was using a treadle machine while in the army in about 1952. This thread has inspired me to get a bigger print made to hang in my sewing room.

I've decided to try and make a box like that for my 99K HC machine. A little sewing kit in a box with all the attachments. Like a FW but non electrical.
