So actually these photos were taken by the kid’s uncle, Alphonse Bertillon, who was a French police officer and inventor of the mug shot. These photos were just taken as a joke, probably when Bertillon was developing his mugshot technique and needed someone to practice on.
No actual two-year-olds were arrested in the creation of these photos!
“1880s nostalgia” with a pic from 1993 yes of course
There was also an 1893
From people thinking a toddler was actually arrested, to people somehow misreading “1800s nostalgia” as “1880s,” to this person thinking a fucking daguerreotype was taken in the 1990s… this whole thread was a ride I didn’t expect to take today.
This is worse than the math post
Just to rectify a little thing: the baby isn’t mentioned to be 2 years old but 2 months old (“âgé de deux mois”, mois means month in french).
Have you ever seen a baby
ok yes mois means months, but the number there is twenty-three (aka roughly two years) not two
what two-month-old is that size with that much hair lmfao
In my experience two year olds can only manage one or two pears before slumping to the floor like fruit bats too heavy to fly, so that’s the next part of this very simple post we should focus on
So I recently built a new computer and this required me to get a new FireWire card for my negative/slide scanner. I will spare you my regaling the hours of grief that it took to get all of that working due to Windows not liking perfectly good scanner drivers or deciding that card drivers should destroy video drivers *even in Safe Mode* and how long two runs through Windows’ repair functions took, but anyhow. Here’s the latest slide I obtained from the ether, it was stuck in a projector at a thriftstore and wanted to be free like a genie to grant me wishes, and the other side of the frame says it was processed in July of 1961.
Scan 1 without any processing. Plenty of color shift and dust.
Scan 2 with the scanner’s built-in ICE to remove the noise and ROC to restore the colors. Happy with the results and happy that I got this equipment working!
Anybody feeling up for large Prince Vector button? I’ve been trying to make one for myself but thought I’d check to see if others were interested in something like this also!

Welcome to Queerly Yours, a Yu-Gi-Oh! zine about our favorite characters exploring queerness in adulthood. This fandom has many older fans that have been here for years, and we all like to see ourselves to varying degrees in the characters we love —so we decided to make a project that lets us have them grow up like we have!
Our profits will be going to Lambda Legal, an organization that helps make the United States legally safer for those that are queer or living with HIV.
