The Olden Days Part ii

As I get older I want a decent photo of myself, not for vanity, just that I usually look a mess. But if I ever needed a photo, which one would I use? One of me in a tight fitting T-shirt with food stains on it and sporting unwashed hair presumably, not looking my best. So why not get a professional photograph done? Everyone used to do it. In the Victorian era, everyone was at it, including animals.


I've started to collect these portraits for inspiration, perhaps it will filter through to my drawings.
