Taking Baby Pictures
In the 19th century, photography became popular and many people wanted to take photos, especially of their children. But, it was easier said than done. Babies don’t like to sit still, if they can sit on their own at all, so photographers came up with a clever solution.
What you see in the photo is a baby wearing a rather long frock, but what you don’t see is its mother hiding underneath it, holding the baby still.
