I once saw photographs of these types of cards in a book about early film. And I always wondered if this was because of how the photograph was filmed or they were a special type of card. Also, I have to say - that finding a period Lon Chaney card - that's quite rare. I've tried to find period photographs or things of him and they are tremendously difficult to find. Your really lucky to have found it. :)Overall a great video, I really enjoy alot of your video clips.

I really appreciate your comments, thank you! I'm experimenting with some non card related vids at the moment.

You ever think of scanning the pics and making a slideshow type video. You could include their names. I like what you are doing but just feel a slideshow would be a nice addition to your videos.
