I exchanged family genealogy material with a cousin today, and received a 
copy of an image that I did not know existed.  This was a formal portrait of 
my great-grandmother, who died in 1889.

This is typical of the studio portraits that I have seen from that era, but 
also gives me a hint of why my hair began to recede by age 20. ;~)
