They had photobooths until recent history. I remember them in my twenties anyway. People then would use them to get ID pictures or kids got in and goofed around. They seemed to be used more earlier in the century though. I enjoy this one for a couple of reasons. First I think the woman has a very interesting look about her, not sure what it is. Not that I find her a raving beauty but in a way she is I guess. Easier to define and more importantly is the picture with her and her child. I can almost feel the love coming from her as she holds the boy.
