Watch the Birdie A Brief Overview of Toys used as Accessories in Photographic Studios - by Brett Payne

he old show business maxim, often credited incorrectly to W.C. Fields, to 'never work with children or animals' might well have been a frustrated cry of the early studio photographer. Both can behave unpredictably, particularly in unfamiliar surroundings, and any proud parent knows there's only a brief window in which to get a snapshot of 'little Johnny' before his attention wanders. It would have been tricky for daguerreotypists and early wet-­‐plate practitioners to persuade young children to endure absolute stillness for the lengthy exposure time necessary. Any movement and the child's face would be smudged into anonymity Fig. 1. The techniques used for adults, such as neck clamps, didn't work as well with children. Consequently many early portraits of children will show them held Airmly on laps and between legs, in some cases attempts being made to disguise the presence of an adult, often with comical results Figs. 2,3. Smaller children were often tied to a chair with a bow around the waist. For babies, to be frank, the easiest option was for them to be asleep Fig.4.

As might be expected, these charming instruments rarely made it into the portraits themselves and, judging merely by the paucity of images online, few appear to have survived. This makes it difAicult to assess how commonly used they were, although the endurance of the phrase, "Watch the birdie," in popular culture is a testament to how ubiquitous they were at one time Fig. 9.

Of course children might bring their own toys to the studio, so we may never know whether this model steamboat actually plied the still waters of a local pond in 1848, or whether his sister took home the bisque or rubber-­‐headed doll Fig. 10.

Google Books [Link] Google Images [Link] Wikipedia [Link] ebay [Link] Etsy [Link] YouTube [Link] Because many vintage and antique toys are collectible (and some of them highly collectible), there are quite a few websites and blogs on the Internet that can help us Aind some information about speciAic toys including how to Aind toy patent information if we are really needing speciAic information about the toy for our research. The following are some good websites with this type of information and tips: All About Old Toys [Link] Toys and Games [Link] Vintage Toys Blog [Link] If we’re still needing more information, we can always stop by our local library and look at toy collector reference books and toy history books.

Searching Google (Web), Google Images, and ebay is how I determined what kind of doll this one of Myrtle’s was and what its approximate age might be. It was tedious, but necessary, to go through all of the online images as there are many types of these miniature dolls with small variations that can indicate speciAic time periods.

For example, Myrtle’s doll is not shiny, has no identifying marks, has movable arms and legs, the color of the hair and the color of the features on the face are worn quite a bit, it does not have painted-­‐on socks and shoes, and the hair is molded – not life-­‐like hair.

Additionally, the body and limbs seem to be hand-­‐sculpted which made me think at Airst this was a handmade toy and not a manufactured toy.

32 Shades MAGAZINE | Toys 2013

But then I found this collection of miniature bisque dolls on ebay and the baby in the middle deAinitely reminded me of Myrtle’s doll and this baby has “Japan” stamped or etched on the back. [Link] The seller suggests it’s from the 1930s. Then, I also found this other collection of miniature bisque dolls that also looked similar to Myrtle’s. Even though this ebay listing takes a guess at the date -­‐-­‐ from the 1910s to 1920s -­‐-­‐ we can’t be too sure they are correct. However, after looking at all the other variations and time periods, I’m thinking their guesses are pretty close. [Link] I feel somewhat conAident about the information for now. This doll was probably made sometime before or around Myrtle’s birth or early childhood and because of that, it may have been a toy passed down to her from her mother, or it may have been one that was maybe purchased and given to Myrtle. It was probably manufactured in Japan, or maybe even Germany. Most importantly, Myrtle’s photograph tells us she deAinitely had and played with baby dolls when she was a child.

RESEARCHING HANDMADE TOYS What about the handmade toys like Toy’s handmade tractor and hoop? How do we research those types of toys? We must sit down and visit with those older family members, ask them for their toy stories, ask them about their toys, Aind out what their favorite toys were, and see if they will reveal the stories hidden in their toys. Then, record what they remember and photograph the toys if they still exist.

Here are some general questions to ask them: What do you remember about the toy?

How did you get the toy?

Who gave the toy to you?

When did you get the toy? Birthday? Some other special holiday?

How often did you play with it?

Did you share it?

The handsome volume that, under the title of "Queen Victoria's Dolls," makes its appearance this month, with the gracious approval of Her Majesty, will call to the mind of many mature doll-lovers a host of happy childish recollections, in which a beloved wooden puppet was the central figure of the nursery drama.

Protecting An Antique Book I have a bound book of Godey’s magazines from 1862. The binding is falling apart. I keep it in a soft cloth bag.

Right or wrong?

It depends?

The soft cloth bag, if made from cotton or even polyester, is Aine. But, cloth does not provide support for a fragile book. If your book has a weak or damaged spine, if pages are loose, or if the covers are wobbly, a four-­‐Alap enclosure or book box might provide better long-­‐term care. These products are available from library and archival suppliers (Hollinger Metal Edge and Brodart).

Whether you keep your book in a cloth bag or a box, it is important to select a suitable storage location inside your home where the temperature remains fairly cool and constant.

Avoid excessive moisture and exposure to dust, pollutants, and pests.

Congratulations on your treasure.

Hover over one of the corners of the transform selection until a double-­‐sided, curved arrow appears, then move the selection in the direction you want it.

When the image is following the direction of the window, hover over the corners again, until the double-­‐sided arrow is going straight up and down from the corner. Move the corners in until the image Aits inside the window. You can also move the image around with the cursor or the up, down, left and right arrows on your keyboard.

That’s pretty much all there is to it! Just continue to select and paste into each of the windows around the reel!

photo into a gorgeous one. The iCloud synchronization makes those photos instantly accessible on the iPad for editing on a larger screen.

I already have the Hipstamatic camera app which lets me experiment using combinations of Ailm types and lens rather than the Ailters found in most apps. The retro camera workspace at Airst looked much too simple to generate anything impressive, but it wasn't long before I was experimenting with a growing collection of lenses and Ailm types.

Fortunately the digital lenses for the Hipstamatic are much cheaper than the physical ones on a standard camera and there are a number of convenient packs combining interesting lenses and Ailms. If you could see your way to stick one or two into my stocking I would be ever so grateful.

Did you have anything to do with the Flickr increase in storage limits on its free accounts to 1TB? That's more than 500,000 photos worth of storage! What a wonderful gift that was. I'll be putting it to good use with holiday photos this year. Flickr has impressive organizational tools and a number of privacy levels, making it a much more appropriate place than Facebook or Twitter for sharing those special family moments. Most mobile camera

and photo-­‐editing apps include export to Flickr features and the ofAicial Flickr apps now include a camera so I can capture and share with just a couple of taps.

Flickr Stackr [$1.99] for the iPad is not a camera, but a great way to view photos from Flickr. With it on my iPad, I could easily set up any number of different photo presentations. Who needs football when I have family pictures to entertain everyone at our next big family function.

Photogene [$0.99] is a universal app for editing photos on either my iPhone or iPad. It provides all the necessary editing tools and works directly with the photos in my photo library. It is a non-­‐destructive editor -­‐ always working with a copy and leaving the original intact. It also provides metadata editing as well as a wide-­‐range of export options to I can easily move my photos to an online photo-­‐sharing platform for backup.

I'm already enjoying iPhoto [$4.99] on my iPad. It has some amazing editing tools, but what I really love is the journals feature. It lets me turn a collection of photos into a beautiful story in just a few minutes.

Adding iMovie [$4.99] to my mobile apps collection would make it so easy to create and share movies on the go. Just think -­‐ I could have the highlights of the New Years Eve festivities edited and posted online in time for everyone to enjoy them with their morning coffee . . .

While I do feel my photography skills are quite good, there is occasionally a keeper photo that isn't quite display quality. I've discovered there are several apps that use Ailters, color adjustments and art effects to transform a photograph into a work of art. By adding a few of these apps to my iThings, I could rescue even those few not-­‐so-­‐good photos from oblivion. The DistressedFX [$0.99] app would let me experiment with gels (color & exposure) and textures to create interesting effects and the Glaze [free with in-­‐app

purchases up to $2.99] app can turn those photos into works of art. Using both together can generate some amazing results.

Having wonderful family photos is only one part of a family historian's purpose in life. Telling stories is another. There are two very special journaling apps that I really, really must have. The Airst is the Day One app [$4.99 -­‐ iOS and $9.99 -­‐ Mac]. With it on my phone, it would be with me all the time so I could capture those moments as they happen. And, I can do it with pictures too since it includes a camera. It also date stamps each entry, geo tags it with my current location (when set) and includes the weather at that place at that time. How amazing is that?

There is one part of me that Day One can't automatically capture and that is my doodling. Fortunately there is another journaling app that will. It's called Paper [free with in-­‐app purchases up to $6.99] and it serves as a digital artist's journal. Using it I can release my inner artist by doodling, drawing and even painting. And, I can export individual pages as images to include in my Day One journals or even send them on to my my blog.

Elijah B. Core, (1853-1931) a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s portrait specialist, was the President of the PAA in 1901 and is listed with the New York City address of 572 Fifth Ave. Before setting up a studio in Manhattan at the turn of the century, Core had first been in business in Lincoln, IL from 1874-1884 and then moved to and established a business in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he maintained studios as E.B. Core & Co. at 56 W. Fifth, 1885-87; 58 W. Fifth, 1888-92; 206 W. Fourth, 1895-99.

The Decatur Daily Republican of 15 March 1897, noted that Elijah B. Core, once a photographer of Lincoln, is to launch a fine photo boat at New York, to do business in coast and river towns.

While running his Cincinnati studio, Core also shows up in the city directory of Newport, Kentucky, a short distance across the river from Cincinnati, where he also operated a studio at 111 Taylor in 1890 and identified as Core, Elijah B., photographer, 27 W 3rd in Newport in the 1892 directory. (2.)

At around 20 years of age, Core established his first studio in Lincoln, Illinois, in 1874.
