Often when I see old photos, expecially ones from the nineteenth century, I find it hard to picture the person as someone whose face I might expect to see in the modern world. Every once in a while, though, a contemporary looking face stands out, and I think, "She looks like she might be fun to get to know." Except, of course, she's very, very dead.

I am guessing the folks in the pics are in their 30's. It is entirely possible that some of them are still alive today.

And the fellow on the left is probably about 12, which would make him about 67 today (if he hasn't already died from cirrhosis of the liver since he has obviously started drinking at a young age - note the drink he is about to pick up with his right hand).

I'm amused by all the comments about drinking, when aside from the cocktail glasses all the subjects still seem in control. I don't see the droopy eyed drunk look I spy in many contemporary party pics.

This does make me want to pull out the home movies from 1963 of a party my parents had with friends - there's at least included bits of a girl passed out on the floor - now that's a real party.

Looks like a photo shoot for Namba...

NAMBLA (you forgot the "L")

They're lucky to have you as a spokesman, Kevy.

Maybe he meant this.
