unknown Victorian family members in tableau 2
Not sure what the theme is. Maybe a visiting suitor from a distant land come to claim the lady's hand.
The two young women are loosely dressed for this tableau and look quite sultry compared to their uptight high collar dress in the big family photo.
The young woman at far right looks very familiar and reminds me of a modern day actress. ( can't recall her name tho' )
The third tableau is the burning at the stake of St Joan of Arc but the photo quality is too poor to reproduce.

Victorian family tableaux. unknown
Victorian family, possibly two families or an extended family. Unknown.
A central old man seated. The young man to his left with a very modern face and hairstyle (looks as id it's been gelled and spiked lol)
I believe these people may be theatrical or linked to the Victorian theatre as in the series of 4 photos three are members of a 'cast' posing and being photographed 'al fresco' in a tableau of the times.....
From the style of female dress I guess the period to be mid Victorian.
None of the people are known or where the photos were taken.
Fascinating moment in time when there were no tv's radios cinema mobile phones ipods blackberrys or the internet! They entertained themselves in this way.....in group theatrical playacting.
Anyone recognise these people? Look in your old folks photo albums. It's amazing how facial features are passed down the generations and if you have features similar to these people here they could be your ancestors.
