photography in the 1600's - or not

So, last week after the graduation, we waited for our son to have his official graduation photo taken. My husband said...Founded in 1689? they hadn't even thought of photography then!

So, I took a photo, like you do.

Then whilst cropping it to post here so you could join in the humour, I thought, well, maybe they made frames in 1689 and it progressed from there.

So I thought I would look it up. Oh! robes. Okay, this company has moved with the times haven't they! They provide robes to hire AND with hiring a robe, you can also pay to get your photo taken in the robe. Win Win.
