Before scrolling through this photo gallery, stop and think about it for a moment --- how do you imagine your grandparents were in their youth?
Have you ever seen photographs where their pose or their clothing revealed something curious about the period when they were still far from becoming the people you know today?
There are times when making this reflection leads to discovering an aspect of them that often we cannot even imagine ...
As a matter of fact, these photos show that despite the fact that many years have passed, grandmother and grandfather might have two or three things to teach us when it comes to style and having fun!
