In fact, there's not the slightest trace of a smirk on either of their lips and nary a twinkle to be seen in their eyes. Which makes me suspect one of two scenarios: (1) It was deliberate. In the town where they lived, at the time they were wed, "flashing" was a fad among young adults. Points were given for where the exposure took place (in the harness-maker's shop and waiting in line at the bakery were two popular spots.) The most daring of all the young Swedish flashers chose to be photographed, straight-faced, in the act. Everybody got a huge laugh out of it afterwards. Scenario 2: it was inadvertent. She spilled some coffee on her shirtwaist just before the picture was to be taken. The photographer offered to lend her a replacement from his array of costumes and in her haste to button the unfamiliar garment, she missed a few buttonholes. Photography was expensive in those days and they WERE Swedes, after all, so what was the big deal about a nipple showing? They didn't bother to have the photograph re-done. In fact, it took a place of honor in the parlor and everybody had a lot of laughs out of it. They’re not telling, are they?

Is it just me or does the left side of his face look a little swollen? It's probably just the fuzziness from the photograph, but still I wonder if she had other feelings about "getting to know each other better" just before the photograph was taken?!? LOL!
