But, chemical processes improved by 1850 so that they were usually under a minute for most processes. Then glass plates with a colloidal/silver medium were introduced which improved the processes further but the habit of remaining still without a smile persisted - still a good idea. We can assume that the photos referenced in #16 above were taken between 1860 - 1875. Careful comparison between the two show that they are indeed two different photos - notice the finger of the girl on the right - apparently taken within a short time of each other. Flash pans were introduced around that time also. Who knows what method was used? Maybe we can re-introduce this whole thing again to get our teenagers to sit still for an hour - while awake. #36

Most of them would have called the cops if a young woman showing that much shoulder and cleavage had tried to enter.

Awaybackthen photography required staying absolutely still for quite awhile. (Factoid, anyone? 5 minutes? 10?) Start smiling and see how long it takes til you lips and cheeks start aquiverin'. Regarding modesty, what's a little shoulder to the unendowed? OK, give the young ladies a break. Awaybackthen photography required staying absolutely still for quite awhile.

It happened. I believe there were even articles about it in the paper. I was at BYU when the ‘Marriages’ happened and my Bishop worked in the Honor Code office. It happened.
