Think the below painting of Constanze Mozart resemble the real person?



Or when Constanze Mozart was portrayed in "Mozart" by Elizabeth Berridge...

Well maybe...she was in her 70s when that was taken.

I think there's a stong resemblence between the picture and the painting. She's kind of manly looking. It would take me way more than a six pack:eek:

Actually it is quite easy to tell. 1) The face tells all. 2) Look at those eyebrows!!!!! 3) The gap in the part of her hair says more than I want to write. 4) I don't believe they had the Brazilian cut back then either.

Honestly, I don't think Elmer Fudd would go hunting in that bush!!!!!!

I want to take a moment to appologize if I offended any body .

Well the daguerreotype was a type/process of early photography. I remember studying about it in an Art History class I once took. Here's the definition:

I think photography (the process) we are familiar with today started much later as you suggest.

I don't see any of them sporting beards! I also know that you would probably **** if they were bald. I think it's great that they have that much hair at such an advanced age.

Don't push todays standards off onto people who lived over 166 years ago.

All that hair at 78 yrs old is a good sign of excellant hair genes! All of you men who are going bald can thank your mothers for that trait!

H9, wasn't this method of taking pictures deadly to the photographer? I believe they had to use Mercury to develop it & slowly poisened themselves to death!:eek:

No I wouldn't **** if they were bald. Not one bit.You made a really good point this was 166 years ago.i was responding ealier to someone asking how you can tell. I was refering to the women in the back right corner of the photo.

i wasn't refering to the 78 year old. That is just disgusting:rolleyes:

Sure did. They didn't know about chemicals and the harm they could do. Now we just eat processed foods which has the same kind of harmful elements only in a different medium .

got balder as she got older. My dad retained a full head of wavy hair.

I guess good looks run on my dad's side of the family.


........I get my genes from my dad's side, in case anybody was wondering.

Congrats! You will most likely retain a good portion of your hair! My dad is the only reason why my brothers don't have half heads of hair! However it is receding!:D
