One of the things that fascinate me with those old postcards is the way people used to look a century or so ago. Did they really look this different, or do the clothes, the haircuts, make-ups and such create the illusion of such a difference in facial features?

Hi,
It’s the way in which they were taken. The images were printed on metal plates.
If you manage to take a photo of yourself using normal 35mm film, it will also look vastly different from the digital images we are so used to seeing.
Thanks for sharing your collection of old cards. I see many of these cards in flea markets and I also have a few that were written to some people in the early days but were ‘unsent’, possibly the address was wrongly written.
Thanks for your feedback.
Yeah, I see what you mean. 🙂
