Until 1915, passports didn’t include photographs, and even in the initial stages of passport photos, there were no specific regulations regarding the photo’s content. The main requirement was that the photo fit on the passport page. During that era, we could come across rather peculiar passport photos, featuring individuals posing with their dogs, seated on park benches, or even atop horses.

I have a deep appreciation for these vintage passport photos and occasionally obtain old passports solely due to the intriguing images they contain. However, those times have long passed, and today, our passport photos adhere to strict standardization.
