Some favorite 1860's originals to share

So, I've saved a lot of photos of originals over the years ~ I have loads of others from other eras, but a lot are on my bedroom computer, and it's hard to get on with it being sooo slow..so anyways, I'd thought I'd share to all who want to drool over these pictures are welcomed to!! :) Happy looking dear friends!!
