Pin And Chain
Photographs only came along only once in a while. This was the age before smart phone selfies, an age when a portrait was an event. An event to get out your Sunday best and put on your best pin and watch chain.
Some people read the paper, some try and understand the meaning of life, George II and Elvis Presley both died there .... and photographer...
I also think a gentleman's pins and watch fobs were often very clearly in focus to draw attention to their membership in some fraternal society.
