Fascinating, in the breadth of poses and dress. A few seem to reject the common view, and appear in what seems like full Victorian respectability, while others seem to revel in the more common perception. It would be interesting to see similar collections is, say, ten year intervals from the earliest days of photography to the present and compare/contrast the changes in styles, as well as the poses.
