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.

I’ve posted my new WW entry here:

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

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

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.

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.
