A
French Wedding of 1908
Attaching
the "ol' ball & chain," 1908 style. You can't have a wedding
without a wedding photographer. How else could total strangers, 100
years later, be able to sit around and make jokes about sour-faced wives
and their sullen looking husbands? The images here are from a set of
28, 8.5 x 17 images with a Holmes style viewer and souvenir case. There
is also a hand written list of descriptions. Although largely unknown
today, there are a handful of stereo photographers still shooting weddings.
In fact, my sister made me shoot her wedding as my wedding present.
The only problem with recording the happy day in stereo...you can't
cut Mr. X out of the photos after the divorce!
