  They didn&apos;t smile because a smile held long enough for a photographic exposure then looked more like a grimace or fake. They also considered a smile to be too informal. Smiling for photographs did not become popular until Hollywood publicity photos of the 1930s.

  I adore these sweet loving old couples. &nbsp; My own great, great,great grandfather John Arnold was born 1787/88 in Laughton sussex. &nbsp;Became Bailif on local farm and got himself photographed in Reeves photography in Lewes (still in existance). &nbsp; I have a photocopy of that occasion. Wearing his shepheards smock, gaiters and an &nbsp;authoratative top hat &nbsp;standing by a painted rural backdrop he is smiling. He was a very old man then so i will treasure this delightful record of darling grandad John .❤

  I don&apos;t know if someone realizes that the first lady shown here, Ms. Hannah Stilley Corby, was 10-y.o. when Mozart was born, and 68-y.o. when Beethoven&apos;s 9th symphony was premiered. ! It&apos;s just absolutely stunning!

  Love when they smile and show affection, it changes all that i wondered or assumed of each individual/couple.. Makes it real. 😘

  I do enjoy your content. It’s really neat seeing these photographs come to life. And the narrator’s voice is perfect for this.

  Watching this video feels like touching time itself. The faces of people born in the 1700s appear so vivid and deeply moving. Thank you, Animata Historia, for creating such a meaningful and beautifully crafted historical work for the community.
