15+ Photos That Show How People Aged Faster In The Past

It’s always so much fun to look at photos from the past. As if they were time capsules, they take us to times we don’t know and make us understand how our parents, grandparents and great-grandparents were physically and what they did. However, when we look at old photos of our family members, one thing jumps out: people looked older than they really were. Is it because of the clothes? From posture? Or did people really age faster than they do today?
