I think this is that transitional period between the long-exposure film of the mid to late 19th century that required people to use devices to hold themselves still, and the more spontaneous poses allowed by faster film. I've noticed a bit of a nosedive in quality around the 1910s when they realise they can shoot faster with a bit of loss of quality, and are using it to shoot the same sort of compositions people are used to from long exposures, before film quality catches back up and compositions grow more interesting.
