One would like to think the one person not smiling is probably just miffed that he's not holding the cat, hence the scowl mentioned in the alt text >^..^<
Correction on the alt text:
That old man is a good ol' salt of the earth, hard working fella. He's not scowling. He's giving his grandson a quiet, measured gaze of approval.
I don't know why this prompted this question in my mind, but if we come across old cat photos in our own collections, can we share with you for your channel here?
I’m a Great War nerd - appreciate the link. Lost 2 great uncles on both mom and dad’s sides. History isn’t just what’s written in books. It’s the stories we tell and pass down through the generations.
It is. The campaign ribbon on his chest is a World War I victory medal, which were made in March-April 1919. So basically this is a photo of a son returning to his family (and cat) after serving World War I, I guess the photo is from April-May 1919.
It's actually post-Pandemic, because look at the ribbon on his chest: It's a World War I Victory Medal, so it shows that the soldier had served overseas and has returned from Europe. So my guess is the photo is from Spring of 1919. Love this photo and this cat too.
I love this one! Could I use this one in one of my little collages for the 100Day Project? (I’ve been posting them here if you want to look—would be happy to send the final collage to you if you want)
