A big thank you to Carol Jacobs Norwood! She sent me this 1937 photo of her father at age 16, clowning for the camera in a playpen, wearing a baby bonnet and holding a baby bottle.
Carol thinks this picture was taken at her father’s home in Gardenville, Bucks County, Pa.
My question to Carol is whose playpen was it? Did her dad have a baby sibling or was a baby visiting? Or perhaps the family was cleaning out the attic?
Ever wonder if people ever smiled in photos? Go to the Library of Congress online Prints and Photographs catalog and search using the word smiling. It’s actually a picture subject heading.
Got a funny picture you’d like to share? Please submit it and I’ll share it here.
