I always love seeing this picture. You could never get a shot with that many people naturally, broadly smiling without something unexpected like that pig.

I thought for sure you were going to go for for a ripe mother-in-law joke.

Wedding invite should have said: “No fat chicks”

It is possible but not likely those kids are still alive.

Some assumptions: it is actually from the 1940's. The youngest kids are 5 and the oldest kids are 10.

If the picture was taken in 1940, the oldest kids would be 93 and the youngest kids would be 88. If it was taken in 1949, the oldest would be 84 the youngest 79.

Life expectancy of a white American born in 1930 was 59.7 for boys and 63.5 for girls. Fast forward to 1940 and it jumps to 62.1/66.6 years.

For photo smiles, I have to think of something that actually delights me, or at least makes me involuntarily smile because it’s so inappropriate.

The things I’m thinking when photographed smiling are usually not anything that someone might expect from that situation.

Not to steer too off topic, but I’m really curious: there are a lot of women beside the bride wearing white here. Was that not considered rude back then? If not, when did it become so?

Every face has a real smile on it! And the colouring looks fantastic as well! 😉

It's quite weird that the ONLY one not smiling is the baby at the center..

Also is it just me or does that grumpy baby have a white moustache?

Way less processed foods especially with sugar and flower then, meat was fresh from the butcher or butcher deparment at the A&P style grocery stores of the time, according to the census in 1940 18% more Americans grew their own vegetables and raised their own chickens etc...number went up considerably in early 40's when rationing started and millions grew their own WW2 Victory Gardens.

Well they are the closest to it and probably intimidated by a big animal, but then again, look at the kid just to the left of the pig. He's literally rtfl.

Replying to notbob1959 (#2,064,897)

The clothes and hair on the women are a lot closer to 1940 than they are 1927. 1927 is still bobbed hair and dropped waist dresses. The woman in the "blue" dress to the left has sleeves that are more typical for the end of the 1930s, and all the women's hair has the height and shape for that period too.

It's so weird that every single person in this picture is dead now except MAYBE some of the children. Humans have only had photos and videos for a few generations now. Imagine what it's going to be like hundreds of years from now, when kids can find high resolution videos and pictures of every single one of their ancestors ten generations back.

Our ancestors are mysterious to us. Our progeny will know everything about us.
