Children in old photos show us both how life changes and stays the same between their time and ours.
The differences in these historical photos will make you reflect on what their lives must have been like; we might notice that children were dressed just like adults and if maybe more was expected of them. But the similarities will bring a smile to your face: a smile that is mirrored on the faces of happy kids at play, often with friends, a favorite toy, or a pet.
