Why did everyone from back then seem to have the most tired eyes? I get that they’re soldiers and all, but even non-soldiers from these pictures have such "old" eyes. On average, moreso maybe than even some WWI or WWII pictures I’ve seen. Did it have something to do with the cameras and the way they captured things? Or how people lived?
