AncientFaces. Olive Tree: Lost Faces. Lost Faces: Family Photo Albums LOST FACES is my collection of Antique Family Photo Albums. Most are from the Civil War time period with CDVs (Cartes de Visite) and tintypes. Some are Cabinet Cards from the 1880-1900 time period. Lost Faces is my way of saving genealogy treasures and preserving historical documents.
I have albums that contain funeral cards, memorial cards, obituaries, Christmas cards, and hand-written genealogies. I am now pleased to offer individual quality photographic reproductions for sale. As each photo album is scanned and the individual photos placed online, you will be able to save photos to your computer for your own personal use. Please use the chart below to see what albums are online in their entirety and which ones have thumbnails only. Civil War & Old West Photos.

I turned back the ancient lid of the trunk and inside were stacks of boxes and folders wrapped in paper.
The reason this collection exists at all is a story itself. It didn’t end with the Civil War, however. After my adrenalin came down to an operable level and I regained the ability to speak, the trunk was brought downstairs. Now my work truly began. Vintage Aerial.
