Children’s clothing evolved as time went by during the Victorian era. Many of these styles mirrored the adult styles of the day to some extent. Small girls wore crinoline petticoats like their mothers. There was a significant difference between the clothes worn by girls and their mothers. The length of the skirts worn by little girls was short than their mothers. Around the age of 16 a girls skirt would be full length down to the ankles just like their mothers. In fact, by this time the well to do young ladies would be dressing in the same fashion as adults. Until the late 1800’s girls were still wearing corsets. Below is a collection of 37 vintage portraits of beautiful teenage girls from the Victorian era.

"Final Stop Lambertville" - This open edition archival print was created from an original unique handmade wet plate collodion ambrotype. The image was created by local artist Daniel Leocadi using one of the earliest photographic processes. Wet plate collodion photography is an early form of photography from the 1850s, a process that was discovered by Frederick Scott Archer in the UK. This process of alchemy uses silver and takes about fifteen minutes to take a photograph that is created on glass or metal. In order for the process to work the material must stay wet and a darkroom must be on location to develop the glass plate by hand - no easy task. You might ask why I would put all that time and effort into one photograph? – Less is more. We all have phones and hard drives full of thousands of pictures that we have taken and perhaps will never see again unless they are printed and hung on the wall. With this process you not only take the photograph but you make the photograph by hand. The effort that it takes to create an image using this process means that every one is carefully considered. Learning this process took a long time in itself and has taught me many things such as persistence and a whole new level of patience. Every picture is unique and can never be exactly duplicated due to the nature of the process and ever-changing environment. The results of these one-off images can be stunning and I find the process helps capture people in a way that can't be replicated by technology. The image is very honest and can't ever be changed - there is no digital image editing in this world if you make a mistake. These kinds of images also capture a surreal other worldly quality. I never get tired of seeing the image I have taken appear as if by magic on the glass plate. It is also a real joy to see people’s reaction when they see this happen. To me this process is a reminder of where we have come from and the value of human ingenuity and persistence not only in photography but the world over. We have been slowly losing the real essence of artisanship that has been replaced with fast alternatives. At the same time, modernization and technology has also helped enable our insatiable need for instant gratification - photography is a great example of this.

Because there is more to living history than just the Civil War

In 1820, the first U. S. Census was taken in Perry County, Mississippi. However, this census only listed the name of each head of household only. It would be some 30 years later before each family member would be listed by name in the censuses. This is why the 1850 U. S. Census has become so very important to individuals who are researching their ancestors. Each individual's record has been carefully transcribed from the original one found on microfilm. Every name in this book is written exactly as the Census taker spelled it on the census. You may notice several different spellings of both first and last names in the census records. These various spellings occurred because the Census taker would often spell the person's name the way it sounded. Along with each individual's name is listed their age, sex, birthplace and occupation. Included in this book is also a historical overview of the major events that occurred in Perry County, Mississippi. | Author: Robert J.
