Never knew any photos existed of him. Pretty crazy we even have photographs of people born in the 1700s. The past isn’t as far away as people think (including myself)
I mean, if Tyler had a kid at 60, he’d be born in 1850. Then if that guy had a kid at 60, he’d be born in 1910. Then if that dude were still alive he’d be 111. Were these guys having kids in their 70’s?! That’s some impressive seed.
You're saying they managed to get one of the 30 days he was President with that photo?
你是说他们居然在他当总统的那30天里,搞到了这么一张照片?

The oldest born person ever photographed was born sometime in the 1740's. Insanity. In fact, before the Le Gras photo, and long after humans discovered camera obscura, a man named Thomas Wedgewood was the first to capture images on a permanent surface, although it wasn't 100% successful. And none have survived. This would've been around 1800-1805.
The ancestral patriarch of my family was born in 1752 and had his daguerreotype portrait taken by a traveling photographer in 1848. I’ve always thought it was really cool how he’s one of the oldest people to ever have been photographed, with the generally accepted true oldest being Conrad Heyer (born 1749). He is also one of very few revolutionary war soldiers to have been photographed.
If you search YouTube we even have audio recordings of former slaves. It's hard to conceptualize how truly young our country is. When Back to the Future came out, WWII only ended 40 years before that. 40 years doesn't seem that long ago to people in their 40s. Shit, the 1990s seem like they flashed in a blink of an eye so to speak. And from now, WWII was about 80 years ago. People alive when WWII started, had less time pass than when the civil war ended, vs now and WWII.
Also appears I got the type of pension mixed up also, it was for the helpless adult child of a veteran not a widows pension, the last widow died in 2008.

The actors who played Edith and Archie Bunker on All in the Family were 46 & 47 yrs old when the show started.
在《全家福》(All in the Family) 刚开播那会儿,演伊迪丝 (Edith) 和阿奇·邦克 (Archie Bunker) 的那两位演员才46岁和47岁。

There was an All In The Family special last year where they recreated the first episode. Marissa Tomei played Edith and she was the same age as Jean Stapleton was when it first aired (actually maybe 5 years older glancing at google). Blew my mind. Woody Harrelson played Archie and it was pretty neat.
the pilot was filmed three times with O'Connor and Stapleton . Mike and Gloria was played by different actor(ress)s in the 3 re-shoots with Struthers and Reiner in the last . The 3 pilots are still on youtube
I started rereading Don Quixote recently (I'd previously only read an abridged version as a kid). It really struck me how he's always portrayed as an oooolllllddddddd man and withered up and grey and senile AF. But the first page of the book blatantly states his age at 50. 50 is middle aged these days. I have relatives in their 60s that are basically still middle aged and barely have any Grey hairs.
Not just the actors but the characters were that age too. Archie had a 50th birthday party in a later episode
不光是演员,剧里角色的设定也是那个岁数。后来有一集里,Archie 还过他的50岁生日派对呢。

Jackson lived a pretty hard life before his presidency so I imagine that has something to do with it as well.
杰克逊在当总统之前过得挺苦的,所以我估计这也和他后来那脾气脱不了干系。

When the Supreme Court ruled that President Jackson’s postmaster general wasn’t allowed to stop people in Northern states from sending abolishinist newsletters to Southern states, Jackson ignored the ruling. He said that, if the Court wanted to enforce the ruling, perhaps they should get an army like the one he had. Another of the many reasons Jackson was a garbage person.
While this is true and a very important factor in how Jackson carried out his domestic policies, he had already committed atrocities against native peoples in spanish florida during the war of 1812, which was never sanctioned by high command, meaning he did it on free will. so it may not be an issue of not wanting to start the civil war too early. it may be that jackson supported what Georgia was doing, and that his cabinet and top aides advised him to tell Georgia to stop. we may never know, but jackson cannot be exonerated for the things he did, regardless if they were to protect the union or not.
就好像他走过了一段“血泪之路”似的。(注:此处玩了“Trail of Tears”的文字梗,直译为血泪之路,暗讽其罪行)

It's fun to go to The Hermitage outside of Nashville to correct the tour guides as they gloss over his genocide. They really do a good job of Disneyfying that hateful bastard.
Even the recent past... A good example of that is the '70's tv show "Emergency!". Listen to the paramedics describe accident victims, etc... the ages they give are based on how old they look, but they seem way off compared to how people tend to look today. So for example they'll say "female, approximately 50 years of age, .....", and the lady looks 75.
I think the reduction in smoking accounts for a good deal of it - something like over 80% of adults smoked in the early 1900s, compared to under 15% a couple years ago. It's true stress ages you but smoking fucks your shit up too.
Also, in the early 19th century, Americans drank like crazy. The *average* was 7 gallons of pure ethanol, per adult, per year. It's equivalent to about 1.7 bottles of 80-proof liquor each week, and that's factoring in nondrinkers.
Also sun damage was a big one that made people look extra wrinkly, sunscreen has gotten a lot better in recent decades AND we tend to spend more time indoors
This might be the biggest factor IMO. I grew up near the beach and some of my friends parents had skin that looked like burnt wrinkly leather. They weren’t smokers or anything they’d just spent a ton of time at the beach and on boats and stuff without sunscreen. Sun will fuck you up.
Don't worry, we are going full circle with vapes and weed now. Because overuse of those will definitely not have harmful health effects down the line, right?
Part of that is that most old photography methods were much more sensitive to blue light than red. This exaggerates skin texture and imperfections, making people look even more aged. Also he just looks old.
Spending a lot of time outside is a lot of it, I think. Compare a 60 year old who has spent their life working in fields or construction vs a desk jockey in their 70s. Most people spending most of their time indoors is a relatively modern idea. General practices and medicine in the past is another. Getting hotboxed by tobacco really ages you. So does not drinking enough water too.
Even deeper than that. People born in the 1760s would have encountered or known people who were acquaintances with people born in the 1600s. That’s wild.
This is the picture of a man who was 9 years old when the US gained it's independence.
这张照片里的人,在美国独立时才9岁。

Might want to look a bit deeper into that before spreading this goodwill around. He adopted ONE Native American orphan. Why was he an orphan? Because Jackson killed his parents. Would've been an awkward conversation when the boy grew up. But unfortunately he died of tuburculosis in July 1828. Jackson wasn't there to see it because he was at the height of his failing presidential campaign. Once word spread about his recently departed son, the pity vote coasted him to victory. I'm not saying he killed his son to win an election, but boy it checks a ton of boxes.
Maybe attempting to absolve himself of some deep-seated guilt?
没准儿他只是想通过这种方式,来缓解自己内心深处那股挥之不去的愧疚感吧?

Jackson was an all around piece of shit. I saw genocide was mentioned without specifics. Among many other evil acts, he was the president who ordered the trail of tears for the Cherokee.
He was elected because he was willing to sign the Indian removal act. He a psychopathic murderous evil peace of scum and if there is indeed a torturous hell I hope he is experiencing his own actions for eternity.
Andrew Jackson was absurdly popular among people at the time. He pretty much did what the voting population of the United States wanted him to do. He's a difficult President to talk about because he did some atrocious things but he also did a lot of things that the general public today would admire. He was definitely a populist president who took on the oligarchy that the US had become and had really fought against government corruption. Look up the term Jacksonian democracy.
Thank you for explaining further I don't admire Jackson but I feel like people like feeling cool by saying he should rot in hell or whatever. He's an interesting person who did some horrible things from a modern perspective but is nonetheless an important part of American history and should be seen as more then a easy punching bag and scape goat for something almost all white Americans at the time are guilty of.
The average 12 year old in the early 19th century probably had more near death experiences than most adults of any age today. Making it to 78 probably felt the same as making it into the 90s today. It's odd thinking about how many ways people died back then that we just don't think about anymore.
He was a sickly man, supposedly he coughed and had headaches and abdominal pain, partially caused by a lead musketball stuck in his lung. Combined with all the smoking, drinking, and rampant childhood/adolescent diseases of the time, plus the stress of presidency and war, I'm not surprised he looks ancient. Life was really fucking hard on the body before modern medicine.
Looking at old photos/paintings of past presidents, we need to go back to presidents having facial hair.
看看过去那些总统的老照片/油画,我们得追溯到他们留胡子的那个年代了。

I think it's coming back. Facial hair is a LOT more common on American men now than it was 15 years ago. Politicians like Ted Cruz and Paul Ryan grew beards. Not that I want them to be president, but you know.
Fun Fact: He snuck out of his own inauguration ball by hopping out a window at the White House and walked a few miles down the road to his favorite bar.
His head looks normally sized in comparison to his portraits
跟他的肖像画比起来,他头看起来大小还挺正常的。

In 1845, I took a little pic, Of former president Jackson and he looked a little sick. I told him he could smile, but he frowned instead it seems, And now you get to see it on your tiny little screens….
Indian Removal Act asshole. After 500 Cherokee men saved his dumbass he still passed that shit during his presidency where thousands of Natives died in the cold. Thanks asswipe. Here’s a 20$ bill.
Fun Andrew Jackson fact: He had a parrot that used to hear him cuss out his political opponents most if his life. When he died, the parrot was at his funeral. Until it had to be removed because it kept cussing out all of the people there (who happened to be Jackson's political rivals)
That's awesome. These photos that span centuries always amaze me because here's a photo of a guy born in the 1700s. I recently watched a ken burns western documentary and found out that for a brief moment my gran and Wyatt Earp were both alive at the same time. It really makes history seem not so long ago.
