    Interesting, I've often wondered when the smiles began in photos.

    They are likely smiling when they found out they would not need to hold perfectly still for five or more minutes to make the exposure!

    That one officer just couldn't quite crack a smile, could he? You've inspired me to go on a hunt for smiling ancestors. I hope I have some.
