    Pan American Airway pilot caps

    When did the smiles begin?

    This topic came up in a conversation today; When you look at old photos, most people are NOT smiling. They seem to stare glumly at the camera as if it's their last photo before their execution. When in history did people actually start SMILING for pictures and putting on the inauthentic...
