*by C***6 on Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2018*

This book is a great addition to my genealogy library. Using these techniques, I have discovered the names of people in old photos and I am finding out so much more about my family history.  This is recommended reading for everyone interested in family history.

    Helpful as far as it goes
  

*by F***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2013*

Here's my experience with this book:I found 2 boxes of old, mostly unidentified old (to very old) photos in my mother's closet at the time of her death.  I'm sure she'd put them there when an aunt of hers died in the mid 1980's.  I was quite excited about this book, and when I read it, I was delighted.  Here was a book that could really help with my boxes of mysteries.Actually dating photos with the aid of this book has been a bit disappointing.  I learned a lot from what I had read--but really found myself with only a few tools to work with.  The most helpful section has been on the types of old photos, including their sizes and the material on which they are printed.  When I read the section on dating photos by examining the fashions of the day, it seemed very helpful.  But...when I examined some of my own mystery photos, I realized there wasn't nearly enough info to go on.  For instance, there is almost no info on children's clothing that I found useful.  Was that a tophat, or some variation, worn by the young man in my photo who may have just gotten his first adult suit?  Nowhere could I find the length of his coat, the cut of the lapels, the shape of his trousers, or even his pointy-toed boots.  He was wearing his hat at the 10% angle--but these were farm people, so far how behind the cut of the times might he be? Nor did I have much luck with the recommended links.And how about the two women on the bridge, smiling at the camera held by some ancestor of mine, wearing skirts that defied all classification, and two radically different hats?So, this book's a nice overview, but when you want to get down to the actual work of playing photo detective, you'll need to go to far more detailed sources.  I tried using some of the links mentioned in the book.  After many hours, I have learned a bit more about a couple of photos, but I must have glanced over the real message of this book:  Identifying or learning more about old photos is a very time-consuming endeavor.  That makes perfect sense when I think about it, but somehow the marketing for this book made it seem, not easier, but perhaps faster than it really is.I find it all very interesting--but I've not enough time these days to immerse myself in old photos.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A great tool for genealogists.
  

*by J***H on Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2013*

This book covers everything a person needs to know in order to identify and date photographs from the 19th and early 20th centuries.  It describes fashions in clothing, hairstyles, and accessories within a range of years, also including popular trends in backdrops and props used by photographers.  The author also encourages inspection of the surroundings in non-studio photos to help identify time range and place.  I believe that this book will be a valuable tool for my family research.
