Do the pictures on your walls have stories?
Write them on the backside.
One day in 100+ years, those pictures may end up at a thrift store.

I wish I knew the story of this crayon portrait purchased from Goodwill in Appleton, WI.
I have questions about those sad faces.
That must be intentional.
16x20 crayon portrait (c. 1900-1910 ish?)

@Mathias It's a colorized photo, probably using oil paint to glaze the colors in.

Back then, photos needed long exposure times, and people couldn't hold a smile that long, so they didn't bother trying since if they moved, it would ruin the picture and they'd have to try again. So folks looked grumpy = resting bitch face.

@CJLavoie Yes. Most that I have on my walls are not smiling, but those seem much sadder than normal. As if the artist doing the color-over enlargement did it on purpose.
