- Louie Gee
- Typical History buff - I love anything old, be it as big as a building or as small as a button. Generally though, I do prefer things from the 30s, 40s and 50s because they were such stylish decades. I collect old books (and a lot of new ones!), though not in any serious "I want it because it's rare" kind of way - more just to have them. And I would love, love, LOVE to travel but don't have the money. Alas...

This is all very cool, keep up the good work
Thanks! That's really nice of you! :)
Judging from the their clothes, I would say the photo was taken no later than 1910.
Amazing photo.
This was definitely taken in 1929; I know this because the photo is part of a set and the others are clearly 20s (cloche hats, short skirts etc.) The reason their clothes seem to pre-date that are because they are deliberately meant to - they are in costume, not their everyday clothes.
From the offset pattern of the stars on the flag, the flag "may" be the 45 star version used from July 4, 1896–July 3, 1908,
recognizing the new state of Utah.
