The blog for the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress has a great post up about photographic literacy, or interpreting the clues that exist in photographs, called Beware of Photos Bearing False Captions. Well worth a look.

It was well worth the look. Thanks for sending me over there.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this post.
ReplyDeleteVery informative, thank you.
ReplyDeleteOooh! That was a great link! I know I don't trust captions in family photo albums either. We had several cases where the babies were labeled with the wrong names, and dates under wedding photos were mixed up.
ReplyDeleteThanks, everybody. LC does a great job on this blog.
