Tina,

These are first rate portraits!   And they have that old look of antique 
photographs -- are these scanned from prints made at the time?  or from the 
negatives?   They are a bit light and have lower contrast than one would 
expect, rather like the way HCB had his work printed.   Splendid stuff!

Bob
