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...

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.
