Imagine how humiliating it would be to get those photos back and have no option for a retake.

They look like a pretty well-to-do family, and with all those boys there must have been a fair bit of mischief going on. And with the girls, even more. I can say this as my family is almost exactly the same in make-up, though spread out in age more than this one. See Maureen's thoughts about the fashion and dating of these photos here at Celestial Charms--Thoughts on Victorian Fashion . T...
