It's interesting to think about a time when we were just capturing the moment, and not trying to shape a pleasant lie by faking a smile.

It took a few minutes from the time the process started That is why people had to sit still and holding a consistent smile that long is hard

Read the book "the Coming of the Glory" by John S. Tilley, about reconstruction. Very sobering.

Every photo of my ancestors, they are completely without any smiles or joy to show.

I would rather say it was simply against social conventions to smile on pictures at that time. They were already making films at that time, which means something like 18-20 pictures per second.

If you smiled in a photograph before the 20s everyone thought you were a mentally challenged. Picture taking was expensive and a very serious proposition.
