Deborah Lundbech's photos with the keyword: 19th century

Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park monthly theme of: FEAR This theme was challenging! This little girl, probably about three years old, is looking with some trepidation at the photographer and was the closest I could find to "fear". Of course, with the way it often unfolds, I will find the perfect "fear" image any day now! This is a somewhat crookedly pasted on Carte de Visite from the 19th century.

All over the mountain are these beautiful old stone walls - the only evidence left of the sheep farming that went on here over one hundred and fifty years ago. These stone walls were created by settlers digging rocks out of post - glacial fields. Hardscrabble farming for sure. Most mountain farmers left for the more fertile mid-west once the sheep market bottomed out - due to the Australian sheep boom mid-19th century.
