When will my item ship?
Most items ship within 2-4 business days via usps priority or international. If an email or phone number is added at the time of purchase you will get confirmation sent there. Once the package has left our facility we have no control over delays or scans. If you have scan/delay questions please contact the carrier.
If you have a request:
such as holding the shipment because you are out of town or discreet packaging. You need to contact us prior to purchase and wait for confirmation from us before proceeding. If you make the request after purchasing we do not guarantee that we will see the request in time.
Do you accept returns?
Yes, our return policy lasts 5 days. If 5 days have gone by, unfortunately we can't offer you a refund or exchange. Your return must be at the courier of your choice by day 5 of receiving in its original state with any accessories included. Day 1 is day delivered. No exceptions so please plan ahead if one of those days is a holiday or Sunday. Please allow 24 business hours for a response so please plan ahead if contacting for a return. Do not wait until the day your return is due to be mailed back to contact for the first time because responses may take up to 24 business hours and this would put you past your return window. We are closed Sundays so make sure you plan ahead in contacting us for a return. If your return is postmarked after day 5 your return will be refused and sent back. In the event of a return you will be responsible for paying for your own shipping costs for returning your item. To be eligible for a return, your wig/topper/extensions must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. Unworn and lace uncut, hair uncut, no color or cap adjustments made. It must also be in the original packaging. All shipping costs are non-refundable. If you are an international customer and you do not select to pay import/brokerage fees and we are sent a bill you will be charged for these shipping charges as well as a restocking fee. You should consider using a trackable shipping service and purchasing shipping insurance - in the event of a lost or delayed package you will be glad you purchased insurance. We don't guarantee that we will receive your returned item. Rejecting a delivery or refusing to pick up an item as required may result in the item being sent back. This qualifies as an unauthorized return and increases the risk of loss of package. If an unauthorized return is received by us it will be returned to you. You will send your return request to email@example.com and we will provide you with the return address. In your email please include your tracking ID and whether you want a refund or an exchange so we know how to process your order. If you do not inform us in your return correspondence that you wish for a credit by default you will be refunded less a restock fee. Hair care products/wig grips/wig caps are not eligible for return/exchange/refund due to the nature of the product. Using signature requirement may lead to a delay in processing your return.
Unfortunately, we do not accept returns or exchanges on any items purchased through Sezzle, Affirm, AFTERPAY, Shoppay or other Payment Plan options. No exceptions. No refunds when using one of these services at checkout
If I order multiple wigs in a single order how do returns/exchanges work?
We are unable to issue partial credits and partial restocking fees on a single order. For this reason, if you plan to purchase multiple pieces at one time please do so in multiple orders.
Store credit policies:
Store credits can not be cancelled or converted back to a refund. If you use a store credit to buy something of lesser value, please reach out to us at firstname.lastname@example.com so that we can issue you a new store credit for your remaining balance. We do not offer partial refunds if you do not use your full store credit. If you use a store credit to purchase an item of higher value which requires partial credit and partial payment and return the item you will only have the option of taking a credit for the new amount.
How long does it take to get my refund?
Please allow 7 days for your return to be processed. Once it's been approved your refund notification will be sent automatically to your email/phone number on your account and may take up to 10 days to show back on your method of payment
Do you charge cancellation or restock fees?
yes, returned stock pieces have a restocking fee of 15%
If you placed an order for a stock piece and wish to cancel it before an order is processed, you have the following options:
- refund with 10% cancellation fee
- exchange to any other product without any restocking fee
Lu's Wigs reserves the right to cancel or refuse any order for any reason at any time.
Is there a restocking/cancellation fee if I exchange or take a store credit?
We offer one free exchange to another in stock item
Can I return after the 5 day return policy if I have a problem?
Please inspect your order upon delivery for any flaws PRIOR to cutting the lace or altering the piece in any way and contact us immediately if you believe the item is defective so that we can evaluate the issue and make it right. Regardless of any potential issue once the lace is cut or item is worn or altered in any way there is nothing further we can do! No exceptions. Second hand purchases are not covered by any of our policies, please contact the private seller for assistance as we are unable to get involved in second hand purchases. Only purchases made directly from us will be covered under our policies. Once a piece has been in the hands of a 3rd party such as a resale site, sold in a private sale, handled in a salon etc. you have voided our return policy and any guarantees. You will be ineligible for a return/exchange/refund and unfortunately we will not be able to assist you.
The color/cut doesn't look the same as it did in the photos
This is normal, variations in color due to lighting and displays is normal. We do our best to make sure our pieces are photographed in the lighting that best reflects the color. We will do our best to take additional photos in alternate lighting if requested prior to purchase. If requested post purchase we can't guarantee we will see the request before it ships so we ask that you please ask prior to purchase. Returns due to a color discrepancy will be refunded less a restock fee as all returns are; no exceptions! We try hard to catch any potential color flaws and when we find them we will always point them out in photos and label it as a flawed piece but when pieces are hand painted and knots bleached by hand there is a potential for flaws we do not catch. (Colors bleed, Gloves may leave a print, sometimes bleach will take better in some areas then others, bleach may bleed etc.) Please check your piece when you receive it for any flaws prior to cutting the lace, once the lace has been cut we will not able to accept a return. Cuts may not be the perfect, layers may not be perfect, bangs may not fall perfectly on you since it's not done in person but on a mannequin and the shape and size of a persons head may cause the cut to sit slightly different. We suggest taking your piece in locally to have it cut in on you.
Cap staining/color bleed
color stains on the cap/lace or color bleed when washing is normal with custom color pieces. *With highly pigmented/bright/fun/bold colors use cold water and wash separately to prevent color bleed on to the rest of the hair. With highly pigmented colors try to limit washing to slow fade as these colors fade faster then standard color and please note these colors stain when they are wet.
Do you bleach knots?
Sometimes, you'll want to check each listings descriptions and it will state whether they are done or not. We do bleach knots because of the popularity and high demand even though we do not recommend it. The knot on a wig is it's anchor so when we go in a bleach the knots we are weakening the hairs anchor to the wig increasing shedding. While bleached knots may give a more undetectable hair line it also causes the wig to shed significantly faster so if you need longevity out of your hair piece we do recommend using powder to hide knots vs bleaching knots. Please be advised with bleached knots there may be bleeding from knots into actual hair or some spots that don't take as well as others and this is normal! bleached knots may be imperfect. Please check your wig prior to cutting the lace because once the lace is cut or return period expired you will not be eligible for a return.
Do you offer preplucked hair lines?
We do on some of our wigs, you'll want to check the listing as well as photos to see if it is preplucked. Keep in mind that preplucked hair lines are more fragile and will cause the front hair line to shed faster. Keep this in mind when purchasing your wig. For longevity we would recommend a wig that is not preplucked.
Can something come without a tag?
Yes, although rare it is possible for a piece to ship without a tag.
What are your hours?
We are open Monday-Saturday 8am-5pm EST and try to respond to inquiries within 24-48 hours of our normal business hours.
Can I use heat to style my wig/topper/extensions?
yes, ofcourse! We do recommend keeping it low around 300 degrees to lessen the damage done.
Do your prices include customs fees?
No, Please be aware of your country's customs import allowances and restrictions. As the importer, customs import duties/fees/taxes are the customer's responsibility and are not included in our prices.
Do you ship internationally?
yes, we ship world wide with the exception of Italy. At this time we do not ship to Italy.
Will you lower the value on a customs form or write "gift"?
No, our packages will be sent declaring the correct contents and their value
Risk of loss or delay
All packages once shipped to you are the responsibility of the recipient. Lu's Wigs will not be held responsible for orders with incorrect shipping information provided. lost/stolen/delayed packages are outside of our control however, we will do our best to assist you.
Do you require a signature?
We have temporarily stopped signature requests due to covid. If you would like us to add a signature requirement please ask prior to purchase and we will. We may require a signature at our discretion.
Custom Orders
To inquire about a Custom Order please email email@example.com
Custom Orders are made specific to all your order details and made to suit one individuals needs (cap construction, size, hair color, length, density, haircut, etc.) and for this reason are not returnable/refundable nor can they be cancelled. Customs take approximately 16-18 weeks to complete, this is an approximation and may take more or less time although I do my best to complete them on time! Photos for approval are sent before it ships to you. Coupons/Codes can not be used on custom orders. Once a custom order has been placed we can not accept changes to the order. Quotes are good for 30 days and price will be honored if the order is placed within the 30 day window. Prices are subject to change. Unforeseen delays from the ongoing pandemic are a possibility and outside of our control. Payment due in full upfront. customs fees are not included in the price, they are the buyers responsibility, custom colors do have some variation but we do our best to get as close as possible
Wig Care
Brush your wig/topper before and after wearing. Washing every 4 weeks is perfect, use our "Renew" argon oil shampoo and our "Replenish" argon oil conditioner when washing, do not scrub the hair, you want to gently pet the shampoo/conditioner on and gently wash out all shampoo and conditioner using cool to Luke warm water (never hot). Always let your wig/topper air dry completely before styling or brushing. While your alternative hair is air drying you'll want to use our "Refresh" gentle detangler or our "Restore" leave in conditioner. I like to alternate these every other wash. Once your hair is dry you'll want to use our "Rejuvinate" gloss serum for rubbing between your hands and running mid-ends of hair to keep it from getting dry since your hair piece is not receiving the same natural oils that our bio hair does.Silicone Mix and our "Revive" hair masque can be used as a great deep conditioner for the hair pieces that can be done every 3-4 washes when you feel like the hair needs it. it really revives the piece. When styling, If you use heat tools keep the heat at 300 degrees, to ensure longevity of your piece and finish your styling off by using our "Revitalize" glossing laminate for a healthy post style shine!
Discount Code Policy
Only one code may be used per transaction. Use of a discount code does not make it a final sale unless item is noted as a final sale item. Final sale items are ineligible for return/exchange. Discount codes are one time use per customer. Discount codes can not be combined with a store credit. If you forgot to enter or incorrectly entered a discount code upon checkout we can not add it after you've paid. We do not refund the difference. If you are having trouble applying a code please ask for help prior to checking out.

The Boobityville Horror
It's been two weeks since my little big boy blasted his way into our lives, and I'd had every intention, this weekend, of crafting some wonderfully mushy letter to him, welcoming him to the world and rhapsodizing over his wonderfulness: his beauty, his sweetness, his calm, his impossibly tiny little bum. But I can't. My boobs hurt too much.
It's not that I write or think with my boobs - although this might be a more interesting blog if either of those things were true - but it's impossible for me right now to write or think about anything but my boobs. They're that sore. I've gotten through the circle of hell that is Early Engorgement, only to find myself in the deeper circle that is Chomped Off Nips (chomped off nips that aren't healing efficiently, such that - TMI alert - one of them has a nasty tendency - TMI TMI - to ooze blood into the breast pump that I employ, sometimes, to give that particular boob a break from the tenderizing effect of Mr. Chompsalot's sturdy gums during his more enthusiastic boob frenzies.)
So it is that when I think about writing a touching letter to my infant son at this particular moment in time, the draft sounds something like this:
Dear Jasper,
Welcome to the world. I adore you. Please stop chomping* off my nipples.
(*Chomping is a bit misleading. Mr. Chompsalot isn't chomping so much as sucking voraciously, such that the scabbing from week one isn't fully healing and, um - TMI TMI TMI - pulling right off. But it feels like the boobies have been well and fully chomped to bits - not mention dragged over pavement - so I'm going with 'chomp' as my descriptive verb of choice.)
I've spoken with a lactation consultant. I will speak with her again tomorrow. I know that his latch was problematic in the first week because of the engorgement; we've rectified that, for the most part (it's still hard to get a good latch when either boob is so sore that I continually recoil from his hungry little mouth.) I resort to the pump and bottle only when the pain is intolerable, and I need to give one or the other nip a break. I'm doing, so far as I can tell - based upon my previous breastfeeding experience (which went spectacularly badly for the first few weeks and then turned around) and my consultation with lactation specialists - everything more or less correctly. So why is it all so difficult? And why does every single freaking breastfeeding resource in the world, everywhere, insist that breastfeeding doesn't hurt and that if it does you're doing it wrong so you really shouldn't have chewed off nips but if you do oh well you'll just have to get past that by, say, taking a Tylenol and biting down on a damp rag to muffle your screaming? ("Do not stop nursing! If your nipples are exquisitely tender try numbing them with an ice cube beforehand." Thank you, Dr. Sears! You forgot to mention putting tiny earmuffs on my infant's head so that he isn't deafened by my shrieks of pain, and, also, that I'll need four fingers of straight single malt to go with that ice if there's to be any kind of useful numbing. But whatever.)
I mean, am I missing something? Is breastfeeding really just blissfully straightforward for everybody but me? In which case, I'd like to have a word with the gods, because putting me through three weeks of labor, a terrifying delivery and shredded nethers only to condemn me, on top of all that, to severe boob pain seems perverse and unjust in the extreme. I feel like a fallen brood cow that somebody forgot to euthanize. I don't like it.
Anyone got any magic remedies for ravaged nipples and general boob-related malaise? Other than multiple shots of single malt scotch, that is, which I'm already considering.

In honor of Mother's Day coming up on May 12, we asked bloggers to share their thoughts on motherhood — and the importance of caring for children who have experienced the loss of a parent. Leading up to Mother's Day, we will feature four additional bloggers to remind us to appreciate mothers and care for those who are hurting.
Today's first post comes from Jessica Turner.
* * *
It's been three years since I traveled to the Dominican Republic with World Vision. And when I think about my time there, I think about the mothers. Many of them were single moms, like Maria, working hard just to make it.
But with Mother's Day this coming Sunday, my mind has been on the motherless children around the world — the orphans who every day live in poverty, without the love of a mother to lean on during the hardest days. Orphans like 12-year-old Nica in the Philippines, who lost her mom to pneumonia was she was only 2."It is difficult if you do not have a mother," says the
"It is difficult if you do not have a mother," says the fourth grader. "I feel lonely whenever I see children with their mothers, and I do not have my own mom. I wonder if she loved me."
Nica is the youngest of seven children, and she lives with her father, Sergio. He earns a living by buying and selling used bottles and scrap metal. He also scavenges to find things to provide for his family and home like used clothes, old jars, and wall clocks. Nica longs for a Barbie doll, but her father hasn't found one in his scavenging, and they can't afford to buy one. She does have a small Toy Story Woody that makes her smile.
"It is hard to earn money. Sometimes there is money; sometimes there isn't. It depends on how much you gather during the day," says Sergio. They live in a small shack with no electricity and water because they cannot afford it. "There are times we don't have food to eat, because my father did not earn enough during the day," Nica says.
Reflecting on Nica's mother and their current situation, Sergio says, "Times were better when my wife was alive. I was inspired and we were happy. Even though my earning was minimal, she stretched our budget, and she took care of the kids."
As much as Nica misses her mother, she has found hope and love through World Vision's child sponsorship program, which she became a part of when she was in first grade, three years ago. In addition to providing school supplies and special meals, World Vision's local staff and community leaders encourage Nica. "They tell me to take care of myself, not to stop studying and to love God. Now, I feel the care of someone who [has] a mother because every Saturday we have values formation. We learn about God. This is my favorite activity," Nica says with a smile.
This Mother's Day, skip the chocolates and flowers and generously support a child through World Vision's child sponsorship program. Think about Nica and thousands like her who need your help. Child sponsorship is one of the most rewarding investments my family makes each month. As a mother, the greatest lesson my children can learn is to be generous and serve others. Child sponsorship is a tangible way to teach that lesson. And on Mother's Day, I can't think of a more beautiful gift than coming alongside World Vision and sponsoring a child. Together, we can make a difference.
* * *
Jessica Turner writes on The Mom Creative about memory keeping, frugal living, working motherhood, and faith. She lives in Nashville with her husband, Matthew, and their two children, Elias and Adeline.
Consider sponsoring a child: Your support will help bring life-giving necessities such as nutritious food, clean water, education, and healthcare. You will also have the opportunity to develop a personal, lasting relationship with your sponsored child through cards and letters.

8 Modest Proposals For Reducing Email
Want to trim corporate email inboxes? Consider these unorthodox ideas.
December 17, 2012
9 Bargain IT Tools For SMBs
9 Bargain IT Tools For SMBs (click image for larger view and for slideshow)
If we really want to cut down the volume of email in our inboxes, we need to be saved from ourselves.
I agree with InformationWeek's Jonathan Feldman: The email onslaught is as fierce as ever and we have only ourselves to blame. I'm just not sure willpower is going to cut it as a solution, for the same reason that most of us will have forgotten our New Year's resolutions by the time Valentine's Day rolls around: We have none.
We can't help it. Email is easy. Email is "free" -- perhaps not for IT budget makers, but certainly in the sense that anyone with Internet access can get a no-cost account with a nice heap of storage in about two minutes. Worst of all: Email makes us feel like we're Getting Things Done.
It's why we send email at night and on weekends: Look at me, I'm Getting Things Done. It conveys a quantifiable sense of importance in the great corporate scheme of things. It's why we brag about how many hundreds or thousands of messages were waiting in our inbox when we return from vacation: Look at how much I was missed. It's a minor miracle this place is still standing.
[ Skype's collaboration tool for SMBs offers many benefits. Read more at Skype In The Workspace: 3 Key Facts. ]
If we really want to thin out our inboxes, more severe actions are required. We could go "scorched-earth" and ban internal email altogether. But let's be pragmatic, not drastic. For your consideration: Eight modest proposals for reducing the use, misuse, and downright abuse of email inside businesses and other organizations.
1. Get rid of group emails. Lose the distribution lists, departmental aliases, and company-wide email broadcasts. Make email a one-to-one medium. Use social networks, collaboration platforms, or good old-fashioned intranets for mass communications. If your message must be heard by the masses, Ms. Bigshot, send it individually and let the viral plague of replies -- most of them redundant or pointless -- invade your inbox and yours alone. Better yet, hack the cc: line and "Reply All" button right on out of the interface. Remember our mantra: Save us from ourselves.
2. Slash the supply. Reduce wasteful email by making it a valuable commodity, like oil or gold. Limit employees to a certain number of emails per week -- 15, for example, or 20 if you're feeling generous. Perhaps Jeff from accounting will think twice before sends that message asking everyone in the department to buy his daughter's Girl Scout cookies. Make email an employee benefit, like paid gym memberships. Need more than 15 emails a week to do your job well? Better negotiate that alongside your salary and other compensation, Mr. Rainmaker.
3. Eliminate the excuses. We make much of the massive benefits of mobility. But these devices are a collective pox on our inboxes, adding an incalculable multiplier to the messages we send and receive. And we add insult to this injury with our mobile signatures, those of the "Sent from my iPhone -- please excuse typos" variety. It's time to take a stand: We will not excuse your sloppiness as inevitable. The Grammar Police will judge harshly those 27 emails you fired off just before your plane pulled back from the gate. Think twice before hitting Send.
4. Get up off your tookus. If you sit two desks over from someone, get up and speak to them in person. Give the finger-tapping a rest. Get up, stretch those legs. Most of us could stand to shed a few pounds. (See also: Willpower.) Communicate the necessary information in an actual human conversation. Ban email between any employees who work on the same floor. Achieve further results by adding floors -- or the entire building -- at your discretion.
5. Please, no more manners. Stop being so darned polite. Consider how many emails we'd prevent if we deleted every "thank you" or "you're welcome" or "no problem" from the digital lexicon. The thank-you economy is in hyperinflation mode. By all means, be good to people -- but for the sake of the inbox, do it offline. Even the golden rule applies: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Stop sending so many pleasantries to coworkers; they'll stop doing the same.
6. Cc: the CEO. Indeed, a fundamental problem is the ease with which we can send email. My almost-three-year-old can send one. (It might not make much sense, but then, neither do many of the messages we receive from grown adults.) Let's raise the bar: Automatically copy the CEO on every message. She might not like it at first -- but surely she has an assistant and others who can help. Put the pressure of executive power on every email, and suddenly it doesn't seem so easy.
7. Embrace the email perp wall. Convenience stores post bad checks and Polaroid mugshots of shoplifters behind the cash register. Law enforcement officials make the bad guy do a perp walk past the prying eyes of news cameras and onlookers. So too should email offenders feel the brunt of public judgment. You know the ones: They confuse the corporate email server as their own inner sanctum. Or as their Facebook account, in the parlance of our times. (Example: I once worked at a startup where an employee -- who worked in HR, no less -- sent an all-staff email asking for advice on getting permanent marker out of a dog's fur.) Create a Wall of Shame for wasteful (or downright awful) emails. Put it in the lunchroom or next to the water cooler. If your company is spread across multiple floors, post them in the elevator. Share them on social networks and in staff meetings. Can you believe this email Steve sent? Public embarrassment is a great behavioral modifier.
8. Meter email usage. The fastest, most bankable means of cutting down on email? Charge by the message. If wireless and broadband providers can do it, so can IT. How does $0.25 sound? We could round up to $1 to simplify the math. Better yet, charge a flat percentage of an employee's base salary every time they hit Send. What a great way for cash-strapped IT departments to stretch their budget. Or get the accountants and lawyers involved -- make it a pretax payroll deduction and donate the proceeds to a deserving charity. An interesting exercise: Calculate what your Sent folder would cost you in a given day, week, or month. How many of those emails were worth the money?

Brad Penny (5-5, 5.32) vs. Claudio Vargas (1-2, 3.93).
COMMENTS: The Dodgers have a $119 million payroll; the Mets have a $138 million payroll. The Dodgers have a 26-26 record and have lost six of their last ten; the Mets have a 25-26 record and have lost seven of their last ten. The Dodgers have $50 million on the disabled list; the Mets have a Dead Manager Walking. The Dodgers have a mascot in the overpaid, injured veteran; the Mets have a mascot in, well, Mr. Met. I'm hoping for a split in this four-game series.

To Istanbul now, where negotiators for Iran and six world powers say yesterday's talks on Iran's nuclear program represent a constructive beginning. They agreed to meet again next month in Baghdad. U.S. officials note there is still a long way to go before the world can be satisfied with Iran's claims that it's enriching uranium only for peaceful purposes. But both sides say they're willing to try a step-by-step approach to resolving the issue. NPR's Peter Kenyon has more.
PETER KENYON, BYLINE: Participants said the tone of this year's meeting was a big improvement over last year's talks, which ended in frustration and hostility. By contrast, the two lead negotiators, Catherine Ashton for the international side and Saeed Jalili for Iran, had what was described as a very positive three-hour dinner Friday night, followed by useful talks yesterday. One reason the cooperation level seemed higher was because no substantive concessions were demanded of either side. The goal, said Ashton, was to establish an agreed framework for moving on to the tough issues in future meetings.
CATHERINE ASHTON: I have been very clear in my discussions with Dr. Jalili, and he has understood and agreed with that, that we're looking for the next meeting to move us forward in a very concrete way.
KENYON: So on the specifics of Iran's nuclear program and whether or not it includes a weapons component, everything remains to be determined. But on another level, these talks were seen as an effort to focus more attention on diplomacy and less on the constant speculation about a possible military strike on Iran and its consequences. On that level, this effort to launch an ongoing process may hold promise, as Ashton suggested in her remarks.
ASHTON: This is a process that to be successful will have to be sustained. It will begin by finding ways in which we can start to build the confidence of the international community, to recognize what needs to happen for the obligations to be fulfilled, and that's what we will seek to start properly in Baghdad at the end of May.
KENYON: Iranian negotiator Saeed Jalili echoed Ashton's assessment, framing it as always in the context of what he calls Iran's inalienable rights, including the right to enrich uranium.
SAEED JALILI: (Through Translator) Today we witnessed a positive approach from the other side, and we consider it a step forward. As I said, the language of threats doesn't work with the Iranian people, but today we saw an approach that could be fruitful.
KENYON: Jalili stressed that Iran would never bow to economic or political pressure from abroad. But in looking ahead to the next meeting in Baghdad, he did briefly acknowledge that Tehran is looking for a way to get punitive international sanctions lifted.
JALILI: (Through Translator) In this new approach, the confidence of the Iranian people must be won. One issue of importance, of course, is the removal of sanctions.
KENYON: For the past few years, the west has been piling on more and more sanctions, and recently they have begun to strike at two critical economic targets - Iran's energy and banking sectors. Even more punishing, EU sanctions are due to kick in this summer, shortly after the Baghdad talks. The international side was insistent that easing sanctions would come only after concrete concessions by Iran. A senior U.S. administration official said dialogue is not sufficient, and as of today Washington has no expectation of lifting any sanctions. That view was echoed by Ashton's spokesman Michael Mann, who spoke with reporters during a break in the talks.
MICHAEL MANN: No. I mean, our sanctions are in law, and they remain in law. And the idea of the sanctions is that sanctions are under constant review, but can only be eased on the basis of concrete changes on the ground.
KENYON: Between now and May 23rd, deputies to Ashton and Jalili will meet to work out details of what will be discussed in Baghdad, which will be the first test of whether diplomacy can replace belligerent rhetoric in the Iran nuclear dispute.

Almost Lost Forever
Luckily, by sheer chance, somebody else was curious enough to pull the album out of the bin and when they saw the contents, they brought it straight to me. As soon as I opened the pages, I knew that this was an exceptional find.
As with almost every album I find, there are no names or places, although judging by the stone walls and dales, I think that it comes from the north of England. There is only one date - 1863 - but even if there wasn't, the fashions are quite clearly mid-Victorian.
This is the England of Charles Dickens, George Eliot and Wilkie Collins.
I apologise in advance for posting so many photos - there are 30 - but the album contained such an embarrassment of riches, that it was very hard to produce a shortlist. I have done what I can to clean the images up on Photoshop, but some were in very poor condition. Nevertheless, even the grainiest or faintest photos have something about them that is fascinating.
Yesterday, a unique collection of historic photos was almost destroyed forever. Today, thanks to the internet (and the keen-eyed person at work), it can be seen by people all over the world. I try not to think about how many other albums and diaries must have been consigned to oblivion.
I'll let the photographs speak for themselves, except to say that the first image has the scariest-looking family I think I've ever seen:
It's a little spooky to think that the old couple might have been born in the 18th century.
P.S - As the response to this post has been so positive, I have acted on the advice of several people and created a Flickr page with these and some other photos from the album. You can find it here.
Sam Jordison was right about the connection with the Lake District - when I showed the album to a friend, she spotted a faint pencil inscription that said Ambleside.
It's great to see how many people have responded to these extraordinary photos. Within two days, the album has gone from near extinction to a worldwide audience and these forgotten lives have touched many people. What's so remarkable about the photographs is that although they are clearly staged, they feature a broad spectrum of subjects and give a real insight into mid-Victorian society.

This is a wonderful find. Have you scanned all of the images yet? A flickr album would be appropriate I think.

The first one seems to feature a skeleton with clothes on... Norman Bates's dad?

They are fabulous!
Characters from REAL Victorian novels.
The faces, hairdos, costume and accouterment details are priceless. Thanks so much for preserving these and for sharing. I am so enjoying all your old photos as well as their mysteries. - 9:24 pm

gosh - they are exceptional - and I love all the little dogs. They all seem to be in terror of the camera - perhaps they still suffer from the fear that the camera might somehow capture their souls.
P - if you ever come across anything really good that needs 'fixing', send it over - I find hours of intense photoshopping rather relaxing - and almost as productive as knitting. - 10:23 pm
- Steerforth said...
Richard, are you volunteering? I've posted fewer than half of the available photos. Most of them are great images, but they all need cleaning up.
Tom - I'll try and set up an account to post the remianing pictures.
Rob - he reminds me of my grandfather, who also resembled a skeleton with clothes on. It was grim down south.
CC - glad you enjoyed the images. It's amazing to think that George Eliot was a "modern" writer when these photos were taken. - 11:06 pm
Phil, these are fantastic - thanks for posting them - keep on the lookout for an errant Bronte or two, will you? Also, I believe one gentleman is sporting a "faux-hawk" - how very 21st century of him

Another vote for the Flickr album idea.
A world where everyone wore muddy boots, all the time. - 6:57 am
These are beautiful. I learned more about the 1860's in 20 photos than 12 years of schooling.
Well done for saving them - 8:56 am
- Steerforth said...
Yes, I liked the young man's faux-hawk and slightly moody expression - as you say, very 21st century.
When I have a spare moment, I'll create a Flickr account and post the rest of the album, then perhaps someone might be able to verify whether these people lived near the Lakes. - 9:05 am

I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed looking at these remarkable photographs. Thank you.

What a find! Some really intense expressions worn here. Also, some impressive facial hair...particularly the men!

Thanks for all of the positive comments - it's nice to see some new names. I never how many visitors actually read the blog, so I really appreciate it when people take the time to leave a comment.
I particularly liked the comment: "I learned more about the 1860's in 20 photos than 12 years of schooling."
I couldn't agree more. - 10:31 am

These are absolutely fascinating -- such a wonderful glimpse of the past. Thanks so much for posting.
And yes, a Flickr album would be the best way of sharing them. - 11:01 am
WOW... thanks for posting them I really enjoyed viewing the pictures!
I am often thankful that past generations didn't have digital cameras! Can you imagine if the "photo album" was a thumb drive laying in the trash? How would they have known to rescue such a sweet find? - 11:21 am
- Unknown said...
Oh wow! They're wonderful.
Thanks for posting them. - 12:51 pm

DivaLea, #15 possibly, but if you look close, the child in #1 moved her right hand during the exposure.
- 12:56 pm
Some of the children may have lived long enough to see the Atom Bomb and post-WWII. In that lifespan 1860s to 1940s saw more change than most.

Great pictures, thank you. I also meant to say how much I enjoyed the national service album. I think that first picture might feature in a nightmare tonight though!

Absolutely wonderful. Please show us the rest as well.

Fabulous collection! It truly is heartbreaking to know that so much history is lost so casually. My own family, emigrants to Canada from the Czech Republic in 1904, seemed to quickly lose all trace of their origins (not surprising, given the prejudice and pressure on immigrants to "be Canadian"). I've made it my personal mission to seek out every long-lost relative, dig up photos and family documents, and preserve them if possible.
- 3:45 pm
- Lindsay said...
These are an absolute treasure! I love how many of these people posed with their pets, but my favorite is that group of children with the roughest, toughest boys in the history of time standing in the front with their legs in the stocks. Love it!

I linked here through Boing Boing - so glad i did..
I used to seek out these sorts of old photos...they seem to be so normal and homey compared to the dramatic pneumatic disfiguring "perfection' of today's crass images..thanks for sharing... - 6:07 pm
- Fee said...
Let this be a warning to us all: name and date your photographs. It's even more essential if all your digital photographs have indecipherable numbers as titles.
I too have rescued old photographs from a fate worse than pulping, and I have to be careful to label them all "not our family" lest someone see the equivalent of the odd looking bunch in the first photograph and assume they are related to us.... - 6:13 pm
- The Poet Laura-eate said...
Wow, what an extraordinary find! I do hope you have fired the assistant who does not seem to be able to tell the wheat from the chaff when sorting!
The father in the first image appears to be a prototype for Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Or an early Mr Munster. SCARY!
Of course many of the expressions are so severe, not only because of the lengthy exposure of several minutes required to take a photograph and because they were so expensive in those days, no one could afford to waste a plate, but also because Victorians were so ashamed of the state of their TEETH!
The state of their teeth was apparently an even bigger taboo than sex. If you were rich you could afford 'Waterloo teeth' - made from the teeth of dead Waterloo soliders, often with bits of decaying bone marrow still embedded. But they did look more realistic and less brilliant white than any of porcelain substitutes which would break quickly in any case as the technology was not there to strengthen them.
Love the horse and trap picture in particular - very unusual to see a Victorian close up like that. I wonder if the horse moved or was startled by the flash as his head seems to have blurred a bit. - 6:15 pm
- Fee said...
I meant to add that DivLea may be right about the inclusion of dead children... the Victorians did go in for post-mortem photographic portraits....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-mortem_photography - 6:19 pm
Thanks for posting, but I wonder.... why the boys on picture 3 are with locked legs? Is this some kind of punishment or....?
- 6:25 pm
Fantastic, hauntingly beautiful images. What I'd like to know is which of the pictures are of the same people at different points in their life? Most of them seem to be pictures of either the same or very closely related people over a forty or fifty years. "Here I was born... and there I died." and all.

The moral of this story - don't work with morons. How, in an operation like yours (although i confess I'm hazy bout exactly what sort of operation it is), can such stupidity happen? Apart from anything else, this album must be worth serious money to a collector of old photographs or a museum, particularly if anybody can nail down the location. Wonderful, wonderful stuff!
- 9:35 pm
- Steerforth said...
Many thanks for the fascinating comments (I had no idea about the teeth).
In response to popular demand, I have created a Flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ageofuncertainty/sets/72157625134713598/ - 10:05 pm

I'd be happy to help w/the 'cleanup' if U need an extra hand. I'm researching for a book on Charley Parkhurst~a woman who lived as a man in the U.S. from 1812-1878 & the faces..... just remarkable.... thank U for sharing!
email: mommadona@gmail - 10:14 pm
These (amazing) pictures remind me of nothing so much as the amazing book "Wisconsin Death Trip", a study of rural Wisconsin 1890-1910 (approximately) through images and documents from the Wisconsin Historical Society. Utterly fascinating, and I think you would like it.
Cristiane - 10:53 pm
what a strangely wide variety of subjects, and am I the first to comment on what a fantastic collection of beards and mustaches this is!
- 11:10 pm
Looking closely at the landscape (which shows some hand retouching), there are a number of mills in the background. The church might be identifiable by it's rather unique tower.
Obviously the dry stone walling puts it in the North Country and the height of the surrounding peaks does suggest the West.
Checking Google Earth for Ambleside, I came across this picture of St. Marys -
Whose tower looks very similar to your photo. If this is Ambleside then the original exposure would appear to have been taken facing South East (top left to bottom right on this map) -
I may be completely off base here though. I'm researching this from a Chicago hotel room! Anyone with more local knowledge care to chime in? - 11:14 pm
- Emma Lauri said...
Great pictures, I'm in the US, not much different from the ones here depicting the same era.
- 12:05 am
- Janice said...
is it possible that the couple in the first picture are an older version of the couple in the third to last picture?
- 12:21 am
Marvelous pictures - and such a high standard. If these are indeed taken in the Lake District of North West England then it would make sense to point them out to the local museum and public records offices. I'm sure you have already done that.
These are an amazing find. Both locally and nationally. These people are how we would have been if we were born 100 years or more earlier. - but for the grace of God go I ...
I wouldn't trade their life style for mine. In some of the photos people look scared, haunted. It was a scary time with disease ready to take you or your child at any moment. No antibiotics and dreadful sanitation. I have great respect for these people in the images. - 1:00 am
- jgp said...
Hi Steerforth,
I've been subscribed to your blog for a few months and was the one who submitted this post to boingboing. Hope you don't mind. There's a decent discussion going on over there too.
PS I mentioned to them when i submitted the link that you were from Sussex, not the photos. - 2:58 am
- n/a said...
Many appear to have been done in the same photo studio, it makes you wonder if they were rejects/copies of maybe the clients never came to collect them.
- 6:42 am
- Steerforth said...
Hi Josh, I certainly don't mind - my hits have gone to a daily average of 4-500 to over 15,000, so many thanks for linking me on Boing.
Are some of the photos of the same people at different ages? I don't know - I need to do some detective work on the fashions of the time.
Thank you Philipb for the links.
Another clue to the location might be the predominantly dark hair of the sujects. Travel writers of the 18th and 19th centuries used to observe that the Celtic or native Briton element in the population increased as you moved further west. - 6:59 am
Nice work!
Greeting from Japan.

- The Poet Laura-eate said...
I found the reference to post-mortem photography fascinating and am wondering now if the man in the first photograph - the really scary looking one is deceased too. Certainly he looks the complete opposite of alive, and it would explain why he looks as scary as he does, if he's been tied to a chair to prop him up.
- 8:44 am
It's awfully touching, how many people wanted their dogs in the photos with them.

you, sir, need to come with a warning label that says HIGHLY ADDICTIVE. here i was, minding my own business, and then i somehow ended up on your blog and now i CAN'T LEAVE.

uhmm, guys? these are post-mortem photos. a lot of the people in the pictures are dead. if you take a close look you can find that some of them have their eyes drawn onto their pupils. the pictures are good, but they're creepy as hell. fascinating though.

Abslutely INCREDIBLE stuff.

Wow! Thanks so much for posting this amazing treasure-trove of beards, dogs, and children with unfeasibly large pigs!
I'm also VERY pleased that your wonderful blog is getting a well-deserved rush of readers - I've been quietly enjoying you for several months now and am quite happy to share you with the throng, as long as I can say I read you before you were famous... - 5:27 pm
- Gabiotta said...
I suspect the old chap in the first picture is dead. There was a vogue for posed family portraits with corpses at the time and his eyes look rather painted on. With that in mind, look at his hands! Creeeeeepy!!!
- 6:05 pm
- Steerforth said...
Thank you for the kind words about the blog.
I shall scan the bins and skips at work with extra vigilance from now on, in search of new material! - 9:38 pm

Thanks for sharing. I am looking at the photos on a monitor located at a office in Nara, an ancient capital of Japan.

Good save!
Unlike today there were not millions of photos being taken at that time, making each photo from that period precious. - 6:08 am
- seema said...
A flickr album would be appropriate I think.
- 7:23 am
- Steerforth said...
I've set up a Flickr album. There's a link in the paragraph following the final photo.
- 8:54 am
The reason for so many post-mortem family photographs is because, as someone mentioned earlier, photographs were very expensive. Many families could not afford to have them taken. Often these photos with deceased were the only full family photos that existed. It wasn't done for macbre reasons, but for the practical reason of having at least one family photo.
Remember, as well, that most people died at home and their final preparations were tended to by family members prior to a home funeral. A funeral would have provided an rare occasion for distant relatives to come together, thus providing the opportunity for the "full family" portrait. - 1:24 pm
- Clare Griffiths said...
What a fantastic find, thank you for sharing!
- 2:06 pm
While some of these may indeed be post-mortum, it can be difficult to tell.
The fact that pupils are burned in is NOT a clue--exposure times were very long and living people blink.
Being propped is not a clue either. Living people were often propped too.
People ALSO frequently arranged photo shoots when family members were very close to death. - 3:07 pm
I'm pretty sure #12 is an ancestor of Paul Giamati
- 3:02 am
Thank you for sharing the past, if you can somehow have student's use them for research. Thank you once again.

- Sam Jordison said...
I'm delighted to have been right! I agree that it may be a good idea to try to send them to a local museum. You might also try The Westmorland Gazette if you want a bit of fame for the pictures. My mum for one would be delighted to see such things in there...
- 8:26 am
Fascinating pictures Steerforth, I love finds like this and spend hours looking at old albums in the old junk shops down here in Devon. Having a gamekeeper in the house ourselves I was particularly interested in that shot. Zooming in I notice he has the most amazing squint in his left eye, incredible the tiny details you can see on these.
- 1:32 pm
- Steerforth said...
I think each photo could inspire a whole novel. I hadn't noticed the squint, but yes, you're right.
Sam, thanks for the suggestion. That's an excellent idea. - 2:24 pm
Fantastic collection! I just checked out the photos on flickr and was amazed at the casual poses rather than the usual setpiece studio family portraits of that era. The girl at the gate - is that a slate in her hands? The lady with her knitting - could be making a pair of socks perhaps. She's obviously rather attached to her knitting. And I love the young boy with the huge pig.
This is the first time I have read your blog and shall bookmark it to pop back and find out how the search is going to find out more about this family. If they did live in Ambleside then does that house still exist? Is it the same house we see being built in one of the photos? Does the Manor Inn still stand? I'm sure some local history society would be overjoyed to discover these photos and who knows what more will be revealed. - 12:16 pm
What a find; wonderful to see. Thanks for sharing.
- 9:04 pm
- Steerforth said...
I've spent half of today researching these photos and I will post the results within the next couple of days.
Does the Manor Inn still exist? Yes and no.
All will be revealed. - 9:13 pm

Does anybody else suspect that the guy in the 11th picture is the Frankenstein-ish monster in the first one?

Me again. I stumbled on a picture very similar to the boat above while shelving a book at work today. It reminded me of this posting. On coming home, I did a little checking online. I wonder if this folks could help you identify this? http://www.steamboats.org.uk/windermere-historic-boat-collection

Incredible...they remind me of what Peter Weir said when looking for background extras to dress the set on Master and Commander...he wanted that look in their faces and eyes...the pre-mass media look. In their faces you can see wonder and slight trepidation. To see an image of themselves and another person. I know what Weir meant now.
- 4:13 pm
I wonder how it is that so many of the indoor posed images feature the same uniquely carved chair... they must all be from one photographer, do ya think? Wonderful batch of characters. Quite understandable to pose with a recently deceased loved one, but can you imagine the will power to sit for a length of time with them all dressed and propped up? And, I have to say it, the, um, 'odor'??? quite an interesting custom, that.

So pleased that you saved these; thanks for your presence of mind. The sixth picture is indeed Ambleside and I'd guess it was taken from the track that goes up to Lily Tarn on the side of Loughrigg Fell GR SD367044

The headline and top of this post were updated at 1:50 p.m. ET.
Wade Michael Page, the 40-year-old man killed by police at the scene of Sunday's shooting rampage at a Sikh temple near Milwaukee who authorities say gunned down six people and wounded three others, was referred to in a report the FBI received about six years ago, NPR's Dina Temple-Raston says.
Dina said earlier on Morning Edition and on the NPR Newscast that Page had "popped up on the FBI's radar." She now adds some details: Page was mentioned in a report about someone else. But sources with knowledge of the investigation tell her that the FBI never opened a formal investigation because Page didn't appear to be a threat.
The Los Angeles Times, which is also on the story, says that while agents looked into whether Page might have been providing funds to a domestic group, they concluded there wasn't enough evidence to open a formal investigation.
Our original post continues:
The Times says it has been told by a "senior law enforcement official" that the FBI "looked at" Page more than once.
We learned Monday about Page's possible ties to white supremacist groups and that he was a member of a "hate rock" band known as End Apathy. Today, Milwaukee's Journal Sentinel reports that in the weeks before Sunday's attack Page's "odd behavior did not go unnoticed." The newspaper writes that:
"He wore his beliefs on his arm, along with his hate.
"He called non-whites 'dirt people,' and sent roses to his grandmother. ...
"To psychiatric nurse Jennifer Dunn, the 40-year-old with the shaved head was merely the 'creepy quiet' neighbor who moved into her Cudahy building three weeks ago, toting his belongings in two black plastic garbage bags."
Meanwhile, Dina reports that authorities in Wisconsin have spoken to and cleared the man they described Monday as a "person of interest." He had been seen using a cellphone to take video of the scene outside the Oak Creek, Wis., temple after Sunday's shootings.
And the Journal Sentinel writes that a former Oak Creek police chief says he isn't surprised to hear that Lt. Brian Murphy — who was shot eight to nine times after he arrived at the temple — told his fellow officers to help others before helping him. Murphy "is in critical condition at Froedtert Hospital in Wauwatosa," the newspaper says.
Dina also rounded up the latest news about the Sikh temple shooting earlier today on Morning Edition.

OTTAWA – Jarome Iginla and James Neal each scored twice and the Pittsburgh Penguins routed the Ottawa Senators 7-3 on Wednesday night to take a 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinal series.
Sidney Crosby, Chris Kunitz and Pascal Dupuis also scored for Pittsburgh, and Tomas Vokoun made 30 saves. Down 2-1 after the first period, the Penguins scored twice in a 40-second span early in the second and added four goals in the first 10 minutes in the third.
Milan Michalek, Kyle Turris and Daniel Alfredsson scored for Ottawa. Senators goalie Craig Anderson was benched after Pittsburgh's sixth goal, and Robin Lehner finished the game.
Game 5 is Friday night in Pittsburgh.
The Senators, coming off a double-overtime victory Sunday night in Game 3, opened the scoring on Michalek's short-handed goal at 2:29 of the first period. With defenseman Sergei Gonchar in the penalty box, Alfredsson fed the puck up the middle to a streaking Michalek, who broke through the defense and beat Vokoun low on the glove side for Ottawa's second short-handed goal of the series.
It was the Senators' first lead of the series. It wouldn't last.
Neal tied it with 5:04 left in the period, picking up the loose puck in the slot and putting it in the back of the net. Turris put Ottawa back in front off a rebound with 3:45 left in the first.
Pittsburgh tied it early in the second when Kunitz got behind the defense and went in alone to beat Anderson. Less than a minute later, Anderson gave up a rebound on Kris Letang's shot that landed on the tape of Iginla's stick to make it 3-2.
Neal started the third-period flurry with a power-play goal at 1:59. Dupuis added a short-handed goal at 8:07, Crosby followed at 8:39, and Iginla scored on a power play at 9:53.
Alfredsson finished the scoring with a late power-play goal for his 100th career playoff point.

Sounds of the Andean Languages
Within the broader framework of the Sound Comparisons research theme, this was a specific project to document and quantify the degree of divergence in phonetics of the major language families of the Andes. Initially it focused on Quechua and Aymara, but is now being progressively extended, adding a denser geographical coverage of both those families, plus the independent Chipaya lineage. Above all, a major new component was an especially detailed database of dialectal variation in phonetics across the Mapudungun-speaking ('Mapuche') regions of Patagonia, in both Chile and Argentina. This component relies particularly on collaboration with Dr Scott Sadowsky, a phonetician at the Universidad de la Frontera in Temuco, who joined the project in 2012.
The underlying database of recordings and transcriptions was hosted at www.quechua.org.uk. One of its particular aims was to support understanding and uptake of the unified Quechua spelling system, hitherto frustrated by lack of public awareness among speakers themselves of the real regional variation that it serves to cover.
