William Davis Hassler was a commercial photographer in New York City in the early 290th century. In addition to his commissioned photographs, he took plenty of pictures of his family, including his dog Bounce and his cats Reddy and Peaches. Those photos feature prominently in a collection of 5,000 or so of Hassler's images taken between 1912 and 1918. They show that families haven't changed all that much in 100 years, as the pets were i,portant members, if not the most photogenic part of the family. See some of those images at The Hatching Cat. -via Strange Company
