In the quest to uncover our family history, we turn to written
records, the family album and even heirlooms. However, they can
often be difficult to interpret and sometimes pose more questions
than they answer: Why didn't my ancestors smile for the camera? Why
did great-grandfather wear a beard while his sons were
clean-shaven? Why is my great-grandmother holding flowers in this
photograph? Drawing on evidence from social history, women's
history, and the histories of photography, art and fashion, and
using examples from the lowly as well as the famous, Ruth Symes
explores many aspects of ordinary life in the past - from the state
of the nation's teeth, to the legal and economic connotations of
wearing a wedding ring and even the business of keeping a dog. This
fascinating volume aims to help family historians get to know their
elusive ancestors by deciphering the wealth of personal and
historical clues contained in photographs, documents and artefacts.
