Daguerreotype 19th century beauties brought to life

[Merlin5]

This video is fantastic. I don't know how they got the faces to animate and come to life, but it's clever and very beautiful.

A new beginning for women using cameras as to me, most of the very old paintings of women do not make them look attractive e.g. Anne Boleyn was nothing special. Anyway I was naughty in the past as I borrowed a book from the library and there was picture of a Roman bust of a woman's face\head with no eyes so added\coloured her eyes in...... and she was very beautiful.

Anne Boleyn was nothing special.

She spoke highly of you Brian. Mind you, she was off her head at the time.

That's true. Pity, I know she'd have liked to Seymour of her husband. I guess a beheading was Parr for the course.

She was too Aragon for her own good.

Very good, I thought of that one but couldn't find a good way to fit it in.

There's a lot of discussion about Henry's toughness but no one really knows how 'ard he was.

And I'd only recently got over my CKIII obsession.

Damn you

 

[excalibur2]

All facinating "now and then" pictures (which started me off altering a library book many moons ago) and not really way off topic as would have thought many were photoshopped which many of us use in photography....and a lesson for photographers on how NOT to take a shot of a woman as to me, plenty of old paintings (of women) look 'orrible. h'mm so much for the artist to capture the best attributes and "soul" of their subjects.

Edit: Damn, beaten to the Seymour joke! Which Cleves my attempt at humour in two!
