   Look at that suit!! We have some old tin types, and I’m amazed at the clothes these people had to wear.

   Hi Fernweh,

   This picture is untouched — it’s in very good condition. The scan enlarges it by about 50%, which helps bring out some of the detail. It’s hard to say how old Leslie is here — maybe mid-50s? Which would make this photograph about 110 years old.

    I’m enjoying your old family photos. Leslie Lickley reminds me of Robin Williams for some reason – maybe because of his eyes. He has wonderful eyes, I think.

    I’d never noticed before that he looks like Robin Williams!

    Nice one! He has great twinkly eyes and laugh-lines… Looks like a very kindly and funny gentleman.

    It’s nice to see, because people often look so stern in these old photographs.

    I love these old photos; It makes me want to get busy scanning some of my own before they ruin.

    I know I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again: these antique photos are utterly magical. I feel like a time traveler when I view them.
