Portrait of a woman and girl with dog, ca 1855

I adore old photographs.  I love trying to look into the eyes of the person and imagine their life, their personality. What it must have been to be them. 
Yet… I don’t really have this reaction to this picture. Mostly I think it’s completely wonderful and totally terrifying.  The amazing hair! Three pairs of fixed eyes! The dog!  Who is creepiest? Who knows?
