Did anyone else notice that the people are never smiling in these old photos. The right to happiness is a relatively new thought process. Basic needs was a much stronger thought back then.

Larry Johnson Film speeds increased gradually. Until the 1920-1930 decade speeds were slow. My Dad would say, "Hold still, this is not a moving picture".
