Not Many Of Us,

are lucky enough,


to live in a family home for over 120 years, and find a time capsule hidden in the home, but that was the good fortune of photographer Mathieu Stern, who did indeed discovered a time capsule dating back to the early 1900s in his family home, the 120-year-old box held a little girl’s cherished possessions, including a paper doll, seashell, and two glass plate negatives, Stern decided to develop the photographs using Cyanotype, one of the earliest printing processes that was prevalent well into the 20th century,

and here above are the results, the images of the child’s pets,
 
the photographer chronicled the entire endeavor in a video, which you can find on his YouTube and Instagram, what an amazing piece of luck to find such a family treasure in your own home.
