Just like the title says. Post an old photograph. 19th century or earlier.

To get the ball rolling, here is the first photograph ever taken, ca. 1826

This photo is from 1895.
Smoking and wearing bloomers! This woman must have been a Victorian rebel.

Not a picture, but a map of when Britain was at its Imperial height. It is slightly wrong though - no part of the territory of Greenland was ever part of the Empire.

Are you trying to cause a scandal? I demand you remove that picture before I report you to the proper authorities! For shame! :wink:

Tequila, I meant an old photograph

TM1, I guess Charlize Theron is older than I thought.

Here's a picture of the 7th president of the US, Andrew Jackson, ca 1844.

I know, it was an outrageous act designed to bring calumny and disgrace to the forum...hangs head in shame.

I don't know, but I'll bet it was all your fault.

Henry Clay of Kentucky, AKA the Great Compromiser. Senator, Representative, Speaker of the House, Secretary of State, and three-time Presidential election loser.
