Celebrating a Century of Personal Photo Captions


From the scripted words in pencil scrawled below an old Polaroid to the pithy captions on social media photos today, we have all been drawn to the words and sentences that capture the essence of our pictures and moments in time. Caption This is a delightful celebration of this captivating relationship, featuring a collection of surprising, funny, and poignant photographs from over the past century.


Through 150 color and black & white photographs of everyday people dating back to the early twentieth century, this book explores the funny and surprising history of comments and their handwritten or typed captions. It captures the candidness of Awkward Family Photos and the confessional intimacy of PostSecret, revealing the unique ways in which we have expressed ourselves through the pictures we take and the captions we write.


The book is organized into nine thematic chapters, each showcasing a different aspect of the captions and their impact. From "This is me grooving" to "This is me in love," the photographs and captions offer a glimpse into the lives and personalities of the individuals captured on film.


Caption This is a testament to the power of words and the enduring influence of personal photo captions on our lives. It reminds us of the importance of capturing and sharing our stories, and of the unique ways in which we can express ourselves through the images we create. Whether you are a photography enthusiast, a history buff, or simply someone who enjoys a good laugh, this book is sure to captivate and inspire you.
