Are these real?

Wondering same thing. I've never seen "silly" faces of photos taken during these times. Always with a mean looking face cause it took forever to take a photograph back then

I think we mainly see serious Victorian portraits because having your portrait taken was a serious & expensive business & probably also due to fashion. Depending on the available light/chemicals used, exposure time could be reduced to a couple of seconds by the mid 19th century.
