The woven wicker was very popular in that era for infant buggies or prams. n.kateus babystrollers.pepperminx.com PS: And I found the precious photos mentioned above when I was trying to read the old Bible, seeing how similar Danish seemed to be to German--which I've tried to teach myself. n.k.

I put it in a "safe place" right? And forgot where. Duh. Anyway, several small photos were tucked in the Bible and no one had ever tried to read it since my Grandma (his youngest daughter) passed away in 1958. My folks gave me the Bible because they know I love all of the "old stuff." The photos are from 1862--at least one of them, of my ggparents when they were both 20 y/o. Grandma told me that "the prince" of Denmark wanted to marry her mother but was not permitted to because she was not a royal. I'm glad ggPa married her!! Those photos are priceless to me. Each is imprinted on the back by the photographer and their size is in metric, so that only a Victorian-era album correctly displays them. You photo and mine are truly treasures to keep and pass on to the next generation. Two days ago I finally found my great grandfather’s old Danish Bible again. I put it in a “safe place” right?

Oddly, such strange things are written on the back of our family's really old pics, too. Who knows? I think it's a self-deprecating thing so that you don't appear to be all uppity for having your picture taken. It wasn't as common then as now.
