The effort on the part of the arrested to make it difficult for the Lawman to take his photograph is often comical.<br /><br />In this issue of <i>Shades</i> we explore Cops & Robbers and their association with photography. Maureen Taylor introduces The Well Dressed Criminal, Denise Olson prepares The Cub Reporter, and Craig Manson tells the Story of Bonnie & Clyde in photographs.<br /><br />In2Genealogy compares the creative non-fiction account of Linda Palmer’s Great Great Grandfather Sheriff John Campbell to his recently discovered photograph. Did she come close?<br /><br />Penny Dreadful takes us into the courtroom for the trial of Edward J. Muybridge, a famous photographer. Does he get away with murder? <br /><br />A cabinet card commemorating murder leads us into a photographic criminal case study. Oh, the twists and turns.<br /><br />Janine Smith instructs us step-by-step into Windows of the Past, an image meld.<br />
<br />
And don’t miss ArtiFacts and the killer fingerprints.<br /><br />You’re going to find this issue very arresting! <br />

<br />
Join <i>Shades</i> on May 23, when Bonnie & Clyde become an "Appealing Subject" at the hands of <a href="http://blog.geneablogie.net/">Craig Manson</a> in the Cops & Robbers Issue of Shades Of The Departed, the Magazine. <br />

<br />
It’s the Toys Issue and it’s loaded. All the Shades contributors are here to show and tell about “toys” and old photographs. You’ll also learn their favorite childhood toy. I loved paper dolls. I had two sets I adored. Prince Valiant, filled with beautiful jewels and a little girl that I could design clothes in vinyl and stick them to her with static electricity. I still collect them as you can see from the image on the next page.<br />
<br />
Brett Payne, the Photo-Sleuth, has written a brilliant article on the toys used by photographers to appease their young sitters. You must take a look.<br />
<br />
Did you know that Queen Victoria was a doll collector and an archivist? Check out Queen Victoria’s Dolls. In doing the research for this article I found I had a great deal in common with the publisher of The Strand Magazine. See if you can find the resemblance.<br />
<br />
Then we explore a Santa’s Wish list in iAncestor, what the well-dressed dolls wear in Dressed To The Nines, what toys were appealing and which were not in Appealing Subjects, toy hunting for the genealogist in In2Genealogy, creating a toy with a download from The Healing Brush, places to go to when hunting toys with Sheri Fenley, a dreadful doll story with a happy ending in Penny Dreadful, and an ArtiFact from Denise Levenick.<br />
<br />
Don’t miss the announcement Shades has this month. Something’s coming, something good!<br />

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Thank You to all our loyal readers! On to the New year!<br />

story told to you in 2009 by a very special guest and reprinted
because it and the subjects are two of my favorites. This post is a forever favorite. On our birthdays our thoughts turn to our Mothers. Without them we wouldn't be here. We wouldn't be the people we have become. A remembrance, a birthday celebration and

<span style="font-style: italic;">Dear Daughter,</span><br />
<br />
Miss Penelope and your <span style="font-style: italic;">Shades</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">Curator</span>
fans want to share this special day with you. A Curator, as you have
learned, is a person responsible for managing, organizing and preserving
historical and treasured items. You have always been good at keeping
things. You certainly have the experience for this since you've hung on
to friends, animals, letters, pictures, clothes, and even an old pork
chop bone which we found under your bed. <span style="font-style: italic;">I wonder what the history of that bone would have been? I hate to imagine.</span><br />
<br />
As
far as Miss Penelope is concerned, I am sure she was first born during
the many childhood books you read and the stories which you heard from
your Grandma Arline. In fact, sometimes I believe you are talking
about your Grandma and all the adventures she had and the men who had
been in her life.<br />
<br />
I will never be sorry now that I dumped 5 large boxes of Mama's pictures and letters on you when I moved to Arizona.<br />
<br />
I
think Mama knew that her life in the early 1900's would be of interest
to others in this day and age. Mama would be thrilled that you have
shared her life with others in such a unique way.<br />
<br />
Have a Great Birthday and never stop your writing as you continue to enrich and entertain others.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">Love Mom</span><br />

No such thing as a ho-hum day in the blogosphere. <br />
<br />
The
Family Curator woke with a start and the realization, "Hooray, it's my
birthday!" quickly followed by the horrid thought, "will anyone
remember???" <br />
<br />
Junior, the cat, looked up from his nest in the covers and blinked in reply, "We’ll see."<br />
<br />
Although
the sky was just beginning to show the first signs of dawn, the Curator
sprang from bed to retrieve a cup of morning brew from the kitchen. In a
few minutes, she was back in bed with cat and coffee, cruising the
internet for the day's news. <br />

<br />
Twice Told Tuesday - A Birthday Story at Shades of the Departed<br />
<br />
That sounds interesting, the Curator thought. It’s my birthday too, I’d like to read a little birthday story.<br />
<br />
But before she could click through to the page, the telephone rang. It was her good friend Penny Dreadful.<br />
<br />
“Well, I never,” said Penny breathlessly. “Have you seen Shades yet today? Can you even believe it?”<br />
<br />
Without
waiting for the Curator’s reply, Penny went on, “How in the world did
footnoteMaven and Mom get in cahoots? I can scarcely believe it.<br />
<br />
The
Curator was understandably confused. What in the world was Penny
talking about? Quickly logging on to Shades, she discovered the article
in question and shrieked in surprise as she read the headline, “This is a
Twice Told Tuesday with a twist. . . Happy Birthday to You. . Penelope
Dreadful/Family Curator,” and then with tears streaming down cheeks, the
Curator read on, “Dear Daughter. . .”<br />
<br />
“Penny,” she said to her
friend, “how do you think this happened? How did Mom connect with
footnoteMaven to publish this story today?”<br />
<br />
“I can’t even
imagine,” replied Penny. “The Maven doesn’t know anything about the pork
chop. I have never mentioned it to anyone, and if you didn’t tell her,
and Denise didn’t tell her, it had to have been Mom. She never was very
good with secrets, but this time she surprised us all.”<br />
<br />
“She
certainly did. Mom isn’t on Facebook, she doesn’t Tweet and she managed
to trump us all with her tech savvy. Pretty soon we may be seeing her on
Blogger.”<br />
<br />
~~~<br />
<br />
Dear footnoteMaven and Mom, and all my geneablogging friends, <br />
<br />
Thank
you for a WONDERFUL birthday surprise. I am truly overwhelmed by your
thoughtfulness and love. This gift is destined to be remembered and
preserved in the family archives, thank you.<br />
<br />
xoxo, Denise/FamilyCurator/Penny</div>

Here is an example of how I used the Rocket Image by converting to a brush </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and adding a year. It can be downloaded as a PNG file (transparent background) or</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as a JPG file (white background).Not in color.</div>

OUR ILLUSTRATIONS<br />
Anthony's Photographic Bulletin<br />
1897<br />
<br />
<i>The photographers of old took they're work very seriously striving for professionalism in all aspects. So much so in posing that an entire book was written and illustrated with photographs on the subject. I own a photograph similar to Plate VI and have always wondered how it was done.</i> </div>
<br />
In a recent issue we announced that Mr. C. Hetherington was engaged upon a new book, "Studies from Leading Studios," in which would be presented a series of object lessons that cannot fail to be of immense value to all interested in portrait photography. Through the kindness of Mr. Hetherington we are permitted to reproduce six of the illustrations from this book. Each of these is a whole volume of information, and should receive the earnest consideration of our readers. We append details of their production.<br />

Plate I.—This shows how to handle a large group, and was made by Mr. Hetherington himself at the studio of Huntington & Clark, of Detroit, Mich. His plan of handling such groups is to first pick out seven or eight of the largest men and make a group of them in the center of the picture. Then, by adding small groups, he works from the center towards each end. In other words, his groups are made up of small groups. Observe that the floor line is nicely broken, and also the top line. Notice, also, the lack of hands and feet in tie picture. The background, too, is eminently suitable, in that it does not in any way detract from the group.<br />

Plate II.—A beautiful group, made by J. M. White, Port Huron, Mich. The posing of hands, heads and eyes is very good, and the subjects look as if interested in a good story, and momentarily distracted by a new-comer. The picture looks as if it were taken in a parlor.<br />

Plate V.—A study by Hetherington, made with a single slant skylight, in Chicago, at the American Aristotype Company's School of Photography. The subject was placed about 10 feet away from the light, and the curtains were let up all the way. Then a 6 x 8 background was placed between the sitter and the light. The light was allowed to pass over the top of this ground and to fall on the subject. The exposure was fifteen seconds.<br />

Plate VI.—Portrait of J. Leask Ross, by C. Hetherington. When this plate was developed, every mark upon it was visible on the negative. Take a piece of ground-glass the same size as the negative, place it in the plate-holder and focus. The subject must now keep the body still until the exposure is made. Take a piece of crayon and sketch the coat on the ground-glass. Now insert the plate in the holder, replace the latter on the camera, vignette (with a vignetter on front of the lens), the head and collar, make the exposure and close the plate-holder. Then focus on a piece of rough canvas and expose the same plate on this canvas and develop. Print on Aristo-Platino paper, and tone only with gold, enough to clear the whites. Fix well, and the resulting print will have the appearance of a red chalk drawing.<br />

<span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="color: black;"><i><b>The Black Cat</b></i> (1895–1922) was an American literary magazine published in Boston, Massachusetts.<sup> </sup>It specialized in short stories of an "unusual" nature. The magazine's first editor was Herman Umbstaetter (1851–1913). It is best known for publishing the story "A Thousand Deaths" by Jack London in the May 1899 issue. Reminds me of Penny Dreadful.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="color: black;"><i><b>The Black Cat</b></i> is devoted exclusively to original, unusual, fascinating stories - every number is complete in itself. It publishes no serials, translations, borrowing, or stealings. It pays nothing for the name or reputation of the writer, but the highest price on record for Stories that are Stories, and it pays not according to length, but according to strength. </span></span></div>

The most intriguing story published by the magazine established its reputation for the unusual, "The Mysterious Card" (February 1896) by Cleveland Moffett. The story reminded me of the Twilight Zone series. A man has a card that is blank when he looks at it, but is revolting to all others who look at it. </span></div>

OLD PHOTOGRAPHS<br />
<i>The Living Age</i>, 1913 </div>
<div class="gtxt_body" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
One of the most envied accompaniments of high birth in the past is becoming almost universal. Almost everyone nowadays is possessed of family portraits. That is, they are possessed of accurate delineations of the features of their more immediate ancestors. Old photograph albums tell middle-aged men and women what their grandfathers were like before they grew old, and young people can study the clothes, faces, and deportment of their great-grandparents and great-aunts and great-uncles. We all have pictures of the block whence we were hewn—an advantage reserved at one time for chips of greater distinction. The fact ought not to be without its effect upon character—if the heirlooms of family tradition are of any value. As in the case of jewels, there is something fictitious about the store which is set by them. Nevertheless the fascination of such heirlooms is eternal<br />
<br />
A really good collection of old family photographs is a great treasure. But why, as we turn over its pages, are we quite sure to laugh? What is there that is ridiculous about the earlier photographs? It is not very easy to say. They tell us truthfully a great deal about those who are separated from us by a small space of time and an immense expanse of change. The sitters are self-conscious. Some of their self-consciousness was doubtless due to the long exposure then necessarily exacted by the photographer, but also they are frankly trying to look their best. But whatever we may say of them as individuals, taken all together they bear witness to a simpler generation than ours.<br />
<br />
It is curious how often they give an impression of belonging to a lower rank of life than the one they adorned. Any look of distinction is rare in an old photograph, and groups of children belonging to the well-off classes remind one of groups collected at a village school feast. To our eyes the men and the children of the early Victorian period were wonderfully badly dressed. Perhaps there has never been a period when the beauty of women was substantially injured by the fashions.; But if the men in early photographs lacked vanity to reform the tailoring art, they were not above striking an attitude in obedience perhaps to the suggestion of the photographer any more than their wives and daughters were. As we turn over the heavy leaves of the album we are sure to see a young soldier intending to look fierce, a young lady looking intentionally modest, a husband and wife exhibiting devotion by staring at one another, she from a chair that she may look up, he on his legs looking down. A clergyman, or perhaps he is only a grave father of a family, is represented with an enormous Bible on his knees, and a group of oddly dressed little girls are feigning interest in a geographical globe. We could not put ourselves into such self-conscious positions nowadays.<br />
<br />
Would it be absurd to say that it is partly because we are too self-conscious? Reserve may become an affectation. A good deal of our vaunted simplicity arises from the terror we feel of being ridiculous. It la the simplicity of the schoolboy, who dare not be self-conscious and who is not in real truth a very simple being. No generation is a judge of Its own airs and graces. Will our photographs make our grandchildren laugh? Will they see an extraordinary egoism behind the studied simplicity of our attitudes and expressions?<br />
<br />
Our grandfathers and grandmothers wished that their photographs should call attention to the fact that they were playing their parts well. Men and women in modern fashionable photographs say nothing about their roles. They call - attention - Loudly to their own individualities.<br />
<br />
Will our descendants amuse themselves sometimes on Sunday afternoons comparing old "snapshots" with old fashionable photographs? Will they be so cruel as to believe that the snapshot was the more like? Probably not, because it is in the carefully taken photograph and not in the snapshot that family likenesses are most often obvious.<br />
<br />
Perhaps the most interesting thing about old family photographs is the likeness we are able to trace between the representatives of one generation and another. At times, between fairly close relations, it approaches to something like identity. This impression is strengthened when we remember that likeness of feature almost always carries with it likeness of voice. For instance, we may find a very early Victorian lady in a crinoline, with banded hair. Her hand is upon the shoulder, perhaps, of a mild little boy in a species of fancy costume which was known as "kilts." The photographer desired to show the sedate tenderness of the early Victorian ideal matron, but the likeness to her great-niece strikes every beholder, and the great-niece is perhaps a suffragette.<br />
<br />
Dressed like the photograph, supplied with the crinoline and a little boy, with rearranged hair and taking similarity of voice for granted, the two ladies would seem to be one. Would the aunt in the photograph have been a suffragette had circumstances permitted? Would the great-niece have been a mild, sedate lady of early Victorian proclivities under other conditions? We wonder perhaps what the great-aunt was really like. Probably no one can remember anything about her except that she lived in such-and-such a place, and that the boy died.<br />
<br />
We turn to another picture, saying sadly that "there is no one now whom we could ask." There is no key now to the personality of the great-aunt except that of the great-niece who is so like her. It is sad how soon we are all forgotten, or remembered only by a resemblance which strikes beholders as ridiculous. "Quite comically like!" they cry as they look at the portrait. Change of circumstance does sometimes make a resemblance absurd. The prototype seems like the antitype masquerading, and It Is difficult to get away from the theatrical suggestion.<br />
<br />
It is amazing what a likeness a large-headed, very untidily dressed young man in a photograph, who seems to be seeking a leonine effect, may bear to his young relation at Sandhurst. The modern military cadet, shocked by the much creased trousers, is perhaps the only person who does not see the likeness.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The early photographs of children seem at first as little like the children of to-day as the Fairchild family are like children in a modern story-book. All the same. If we isolate and magnify o rIngle face we may probably find Its antitype in the present nurseries of the family or at school. Old photographs of children are, however, very unsatisfactory. They are surprisingly without charm. Has the modern worship of children brought something out in them which was not patent in their little grandfathers? The painters contradict a theory to which early photography certainly lends a plausibility.<br />
<br />
Why does the ordinary middle-class family beep so poor a record, not of its own doings—they are, for the most part, dull enough—but of its own personalities? None of us can see in front of us much further than the probable lifetime of our own children, and we do not like to look even so far as that.<br />
Surely it would give us a sense of space if we could see clearly a little further behind us. Moreover, to those who are engaged in the bringing up of their own children, a history of the family might furnish many a hint. Would it not be a good plan if every family appointed a historiographer. It would be his or her duty to make a slight sketch in words of every living member of the family; to keep a few characteristic letters; to put down a few characteristic sayings, and to send this little dossier to some discreet person who should be agreed upon as a recipient of the family archives.<br />
<br />
As a companion volume to the family album it would be very interesting! The post, too, would be an interesting one to fill. The choice would fall often, we think, upon an unmarried woman. Women are far more interested in character-study than men; unmarried women are apt to stand a little outside the family circle. Also such a woman would be likely to accept a somewhat onerous job for the sake of the sense that she was somehow augmenting the significance of her own blood, though only by words.<br />
<br />
All the same, we are not sure but that the book might prove enervating reading. History repeats itself, as the photographs show us. A minute description of their forebears might remove from present members of a humdrum family all sense of originality, and leave them with a calm acquiescence in stagnation, a sense that there is nothing new under the sun, and that each successive generation is a reproduction of the last in different clothes and fresh circumstances.<br />

There is no more ghostly duplicate of a living person than that of a photograph of someone taken almost a hundred years before they were born. A photograph of someone that could be their double. <br />
<br />
Here is a photograph of Mary B. Goble, a school teacher in 1901 in the Prairie School, Dist. No. 8, Monroe Township, Allen County, Ohio, who could be the look-alike for Clare.<br />

They bill themselves as Artistic & Practical Photographers. Cadwallader & Fearnaught of Indianapolis, Ind., established Aug. 19, 1872.<br />
<br />
They show their "Artistic" flair in their choice of backstamp. Very attractive, but not really out of the ordinary for the period of time. It is the "Practical" that caught my eye and the reason I purchased this cabinet card for its backstamp.<br />
<br />
Many photographers include the negative number, but Cadwallader & Fearnaught included the date of the sitting. I have personally seen six of their cabinet cards and while several had a different design, each had a place for the date of the sitting. So very helpful to any family historian.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The sitting for this photograph was made May 1886 at the elegant photographic establishment of Cadwallader & Fearnaught the negative numbered 15967 is carefully preserved, from which duplicates can be obtained at any time."</div>
</blockquote>
Now, if they'd just had a spot for the name of the person who sat for the photograph.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 85%;">By C. B. Turrill</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: black; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 85%;">The mention of history has a tendency to cause a momentary mental picture of numerous large, heavy books, full of details, statistics, and all sorts of disagreeable things that must be read and remembered, and when historical photography is mentioned in connection with our own country, one naturally feels sorry for the enthusiast who does not seem to realize we have so few ivy-clad towers or picturesque castles, and no kings except those of diamonds, spades, clubs and hearts. So we are quite prone to continue the usual routine of photographing Bill's back yard, the dog therein, and other things of everyday.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 85%;">However, a new country has one great advantage in that we can get in on "the ground floor" in our historical picture-making. And besides, we can take the baby's picture, at as frequent intervals as possible, on the chance that he may become President some day - or that he may be hung. In either event, his picture becomes an historical asset. So with the house in which he was born and the pond in which he sported as a boy playing hookey.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 85%;">So, after all, historical photography does not mean only the making of artistic properly lighted photographs of crumbling buildings that we new ages ago. We are making history all the time. The events of yesterday are history today. The events of yesterday are history today. The flag raising, the parade, the casualty of last week, each has been embalmed and becomes a part of that mysterious something we call history. It is a part of the life story of the individual, the town, the county, the State or the nation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 85%;">In almost every amateur's album of prints are pictures of historic value. An instance will prove this: Some years ago the writer was engaged in the almost hopeless task of furnishing the illustrative part of a book, "The First Half Century," which recounts the struggles and successes of St. Ignatius University. Many of the desired pictures were difficult to find; in fact, a few were secured only after some two years' search.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 85%;">The portrait of the founder of the institution was one of the most important. Photography as we know it had not been introduced at that period and the good priest in his modesty and fully occupied time had never "sat" for a daguerreotype. Somewhere was found a modern "Brownie" print, soiled and crumpled, that some "kid" had "snapped" when the loved priest was not looking. The film could not be found and the boy who made it unknown. The picture was a poor one and shows the man in his decrepitude. It was copied, enlarged, worked up, and is the only portrait in existence of the founder of a great educational institution. That little picture is an invaluable historical one.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 85%;">The writer has just had occasion to print from some negatives made twenty-seven years ago, subjects that were quite commonplace at the time, yet subjects that could not be otherwise obtained, illustrating conditions that passed away a quarter of a century ago.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 85%;">The almost daily search for such things has impressed upon me the importance of them and causes me to plead for their preservation. This is one side of a many-sided matter. Save any old picture you may have; the time may come when it is historically valuable.</span></div>

Here is a Civil War Carte-de-Visite of a handsome young man who could be the look-alike for Leonardo DiCaprio in Django Unchained.<br />

An ancestor perhaps, or a true doppelganger? What do you think?. <br />

In keeping with the Golden Rule Days Theme of Shades Of The Departed Magazine, I give you Helen Keller in her cap and gown. Below is an excerpt of an essay she wrote upon her graduation. I admire her optimism.<br />
<br />
"As my college days draw to a close,<span class="gtxt_body">
I find myself looking forward with beating heart and bright
anticipations to what the future holds of activity for me. My share in
the work of the world may be limited, but the fact that it is work makes
it precious. Nay, the desire and will to work is optimism itself."</span><br />

The relaunching of a magazine is far more hazardous than the launching of a new<br />
battleship; for the latter is intended to be dangerous to its foes, whereas the former<br />
is fraught with danger to its friends. Nor can the quality of the magazine, like that<br />
of the ship, be tested by its trial trip; for the vast ocean of literature is covered with<br />
the wreckage of periodicals that started out with every indication of making a long<br />
and profitable voyage. Still, an enterprise that smacks not of peril makes no appeal<br />
to a brave and aspiring soul; and in these piping times of peace, the pen is mightier<br />
than the sword. <i> </i></div>

<br />
Say hello to Amy Miller Ross and Mabel Robb of Liberty, Missouri. They're here to pass on the news that it's <i>Shades'</i> fifth Blogiversary, five years of blogging as <i>Shades Of The Departed</i>. With this post, <a href="http://www.shadesofthedeparted.com/2008/03/no-place-for-lady.html">No Place For A Lady</a>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Shades</span> started down the road to blogging history. <span style="font-style: italic;">The history part is that I still love Shades five years later.</span><br />
<br />
It's been an extremely difficult year for me personally. I've had to place this blog and <i>Shades The Magazine</i> on hold to focus on getting well. Yes, getting well has been my full-time job and I can report I've been pretty good at it. And so, I return.<br />
<br />
Return to find the online world has changed completely. Why, it's like buying a car with a standard transmission when your last car was an automatic. Now where's first gear? <br />
<br />
So, did I fiddle while the online community burned brightly? Not on your/my life. I bought some fantastic new photographs I'm dying to show you. I acquired some amazing new books on photographic research. I'm so much more informed. I took classes on creating and streamlining <i>Shades The Magazine</i>. Faster? I hope so. I outlined that book I'm going to write. Write this year. I have so much to share with you.<br />
<br />
I'm also working on two new adventures associated with
this blog, footnoteMaven.com, and our community. Now, just what could
that be? April will see them announced. April, my favorite month, the
month I was born, and the birth of new ideas here at <i>Shades</i>.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">Shades</span> <i>The Magazine</i> is in the works again, back better than ever with the April Issue on School Days. Thank you <span style="font-style: italic;">Shades</span>
readers for twittering, emailing, and commenting; keeping <i>Shades</i> alive in the minds of our community. We do it for you, but we can't do it without you. Thank you!<br />
<br />
And if that wasn't enough to spur me on, I received three emails this week from readers who have made a connection through <i>Shades; </i>from this blog and one very exciting connection through <i>Shades Magazine</i>. Stay tuned, to hear about them. As you know, <i>Shades</i> is all about the connections.<br />
<br />
I'm so excited, that I just can't hide it. I'm back!<br />

<span style="font-size: normal;"><i>Thursday on Shades</i> is pleased to join the Blog Book Tour for a new resource - <i>How to Archive Family Keepsakes</i>. From
the hand and mind of Denise Levenick (aka Penelope Dreadful), <a href="http://www.thefamilycurator.com/">The Family Curator</a>, comes a true family treasure in the form of, <i>How To Archive Family Keepsakes</i>.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: normal;">Many of us find ourselves in the position of family curator. How each
of us deals with that position is often the true story. Denise
Levenick has a longtime interest in her family history. Stories of her
maternal grandmother growing up in Colorado and Kansas nurtured that
interest and a steamer trunk full of letters and photographs sparked her
odyssey.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: normal;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: normal;">While wandering the web one day I bumped into Denise's experiment in family history. She was writing about a transcription project for her class of high school students<span style="color: #343434;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><i> </i>using her family letters</span></span>. I was hooked on her project and her writing. I asked Denise to write a Friday from the Collectors article<span style="font-size: normal;"><b> </b><span style="font-size: normal;">and we've been friends ever since.</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span>The story of her student transcription project can be found <a href="http://www.shadesofthedeparted.com/2008/07/july-4-friday-from-collectors.html">here</a>, <a href="http://www.shadesofthedeparted.com/2008/07/july-4-friday-from-collectors.html">Reading Women's History</a> - A Family History Project in the<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b> </b></span>High School English Classroom.</span><br />
<br />
When the idea for a work of fiction associated with an old photograph, called Penny Dreadfuls, was formed on <i><a href="http://shadesthemagazine-archive.blogspot.com/">Shades The Magazine</a><span style="font-size: small;">, </span></i>Denise was the obvious choice<i> </i>to became the voice of Penny. Penny Dreadfuls are a reader favorite in <a href="http://shadesthemagazine-archive.blogspot.com/"><i>Shades</i> <i>The Magazine.</i></a><br />
<br />
Denise, a native Californian, has worked as an editor and journalist
since publishing a neighborhood newspaper in grade school and taught
both journalism and literature in Pasadena schools for 19 years. She is a writer, researcher, and speaker with a passion for preserving and sharing family treasures of all kinds.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Denise is the creator of the
award-winning family history blog, <a href="http://www.thefamilycurator.com/">TheFamilyCurator</a> and author
of the new book <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">How to Archive Family

"<span style="font-size: small;">S</span>tuff" is a technical
term used by genealogists, family historians and collectors to denote
the material acquired in the pursuit of their passions. Stuff exists. Everywhere! But can you find it when you need it? Did you preserve it for generations to come?<br />

Did you preserve it for generations?" are questions with solutions found in </span></span><span style="color: #bf9000;"><span style="color: black;"><i>How To Archive Family Keepsakes</i>. Organization takes a front seat in Denise's exceptionally well written and researched resource. Organization is the first word in the title of each chapter contained in the book.

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><span style="color: black;">Of particular interest to readers of <i>Shades</i> is "Chapter 7 - Organize Archival Photos." Denise not only discusses the range and types of photographs we encounter, but also caring for them, organizing them, and storing them. I enjoyed reading Cautions, Tips, and Resources appearing in each chapter. They were packed with information.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><span style="color: black;">"Chapter 10 - Digitize Your Family History" begins the journey into the world of computers, scanners, and digital archiving.

<br />Three beautiful brothers, two of whom are dressed in Little Lord Fauntleroy suits. Little Lord Fauntleroy was a book written by Francis Hodgson Burnett. The suits described and illustrated in her book proved extremely popular with doting mothers and hated by the young men who wore them. The suit was a black velvet jacket and breeches, sometime worn with an elaborate lace collar and fancy blouse, as seen here. The hair was worn in long ringlets. The main period that the suits were popular was 1886-1899, but the suits were worn into the 1920s.

<br />Today's Shades Old Photograph starts the week with a series called Siblings. Three impeccably dressed siblings; the photographed was taken by Falk.
<br />
<br />Benjamin J. Falk was born 14 October 1853 in New York City. He was one of the leading New York photographers who specialized in celebrities. He was a well-known New York photographer from the opening of his first studio at 347 E. 14th Street in 1877 to his death 19 March 1925. This photograph lists his address as 13 and 15 West 24th St., Madison Square. A studio he designed and opened in 1892.
<br />
<br />He also had a studio at Twenty-third Street and Broadway, on the site of the present Flatiron Building. He left Twenty-third Street and Broadway and established a gallery in the Waldorf-Astoria at West 33rd Street. (Dates not yet determined.)
<br />
<br />Are these children celebrities, or were their parents celebrities? Or were they just the children of wealthy parents who wanted them photographed by Falk?

<br /><div style="text-align: center;">Wouldn't You Hate America If It Met You This Way?
<br />By Marie De Montalvo and Rose Falls Bres
<br />The Delineator
<br />March 1921
<br />
<br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Read this story of what women and children endure at Ellis Island, where many immigrants get their first taste of America. Then, while you are still boiling with the sense of injustice and outraged decency, write your congressman that conditions must be changed.</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Talk the cause of these immigrant women and children in your church. It will not stand for this gross violation of Christian principles. Talk it in your club. The hatred that Ellis Island breeds is spreading like a plague to increase the discontent which menaces our institutions and the Government itself.</span>

<br />Do you know what happens at Ellis Island, in the shadow of the Statute of Liberty, to the women who come to America from other lands because they think that this is the land of freedom, of justice, of plenty - women whose only crime is poverty, whose only offense is ignorance of our language and our ways?
<br />
<br />Never mind the millions of men who are pouring into this country, and the millions more who are waiting over there to come, some with passports, waiting for a few inches of space on some American-bound ship, and millions more still waiting for passports. They constitute a problem of enormous importance - but we can leave it to the men. The thing that concerns the women of this country is that the proportion of women coming to this country is increasing and nothing is being done about it.
<br />
<br />National and international problems are coming to a point of confusion and complexity which makes us feel that a man who seems to know what he thinks must be mistaken. Immigration is one of the complicated problems about which people think and feel, and hardly any one knows anything. Yet it may be possible to make one assertion which we can all agree to:
<br />
<br />There are just two things to do with the immigrant - keep him out or treat him fairly.
<br />
<br />Now, women of America! Do you know that women surrounded with children, carrying babies, squeezed into airless rooms among men, are found to stand day after day and week after week waiting for a man with a megaphone to yell their unpronounceable names at them so that they may know their relatives have come for them?
<br />
<br />Do you know that after they disembark at Ellis Island they are pushed and jostled and shouted at and bullied by so-called "officials" whose qualification for the job seems invariably to have been a harsh voice and a hot temper?
<br />
<br />Do you know that women with babies and luggage are forced to stand in line for at least half a day, and sometimes several days, and negotiate flights of stairs carrying with them everything they own on earth, before they pass their physical examinations which could all be performed much more quickly and effectively on the same floor?

<br />Two thousand Men, women and children remained five days at
<br />Ellis Island recently without bunks, and had to lie on the floor or sit
<br />up all night, six squeezed together on each bench.

<br />Do you know that there are 2,000 bunks on Ellis Island, provided with two blankets apiece; that because detained immigrants must be segregated into classes, only 1,500 of these beds are available - since if there are only 10 Chinese and the dormitory for the Chinese hold twenty-five, the remaining 15 bunks must remain empty rather than fill them with white people - and that recently on the Jewish holiday, Yom Kippur, 3,500 men, women, and children were without bunks and had to lie on the floor or sit up all night, six squeezed together on each bench?
<br />
<br />Do you know that there is no place for women to wash themselves, their clothes and their babies, except at a sink out in the public hall? And no place to dry their clothes except strung over lines strung over their bunks in the unventilated dormitories, with bunks four deep up and down the walls, where they must remain anywhere from a single night to a year?
<br />
<br />Can you imagine the mental attitude of government employees who stopped up the faucets in the eating halls because they might drip on the floors if immigrants were allowed to drink water with their meals?
<br />
<br />Have you a picture of a baby whose underclothing remains unchanged for so long that its skin peels off with its garments when they are finally removed?
<br />
<br />Do you know the inadequacy of the sanitary arrangements - such that a visitor hates to inspect them because their awful presence is made known long before they are visible to the eye?
<br />
<br />In brief, do you smell Ellis Island when you read these words?

She died at the age of twenty-five, the mother of seven children, the oldest being but a little more than seven years.<br /><br />Overcome by sickness, poverty and distress, she laid down the burden of life, March 15, 1908, with the words, "Be good to my children."<br /><br />The father, unable financially to hire a good housekeeper, and finding it impossible to secure the necessary help from friends and relatives, thought the best way to fulfill the wife's request to be good to the children was to secure help from outside and appealed to the Michigan Children's Home Society, which gave the needed assistance. Then came the parting. Friends and loved ones joined in the good-byes, and tears and kisses mingled.<br /><br />Little Vance was so young that he was quickly attracted by new sights and scenes but not so with Charlie. He did not so easily forget the old associations, and, leaning his head upon the window in the car, he sobbed: "I want to go back to grandma's house."<br /><br />Oh, the love and sympathy needed to comfort these little hearts that are breaking because those whom they have known and loved are taken away from them!<br /><br />Will someone come to the rescue of these two bright, healthy boys, and give them a home together, that they need not be separated?<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" >Sources:<br /><br />Magazine and Photograph</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"> "The Delineator Child Rescue Campaign</span><span style="font-size:85%;">."<span style="font-style: italic;">The Delineator</span></span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >,</span><span style="font-size:85%;"> September 1908, 405.</span><br /></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com7
