One of my all-time favorite posters, painted in 1897 by one of masters of Art Nouveau design, Alphonse Mucha.
Its light in my heart is not even dimmed by the repeated viewing caused by its being hung in approximately 33.72% of college dorm rooms and perhaps a slightly higher percentage of young adult households, say 41.03%, during the entire period 1961 through 1979…
(in many cases starting in the former and following its owner through successive Berkeley apartments until it met its tattered demise in a leaky cabin on the Russian River…. cough…. I mean…. um… or something like that, of course.)
That’s a great scattering of freckles. The photographer didn’t try to hide those freckles with lights from a collander, like the woman from a few days ago. However, sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen!
To the right you can see the head office of The London Stereoscopic Company, whose photographers were responsible for a lot of the images of the time, many sold as stereoscope and “magic lantern” slides.
I want to know what that vehicle is in the center, that looks like three stuck together… Also, the tall, short ones on the left.
The vehicles in the middle are all parked, and I suspect that, like the ones on the left, are ‘Hackney Carriages’ of one sort of another. It wouldn’t make sense for the general public to park like that. but it would for Taxies.
These are young girls, not women, though the last is obviously a bit older than the others. I saw the first one in another photo, where she was said to be nine years old.
One site said they were all sisters, but I didn’t find any corroboration of that elsewhere.
They were performers in Hanneford’s Canadian circus, when it toured Ireland, photographed in 1910 by H.F. Cooper, in Strabane.
It’s about fifteen miles or so from me, I live in a village between Bury St Edmunds and Ipswich. I was based in Bury St Eds for twenty or so years for work, so I used to see the Cathedral quite a lot. Heading west on the A14 the tower is visible, and I watched the progress when it was being built. It was a big thing in the town when they got the funding to construct the tower.
A lot of history all around East Anglia, the Sutton Hoo Viking burial isn’t too far away.

Is that a sock?
That or a sweater.
We can’t tell what it is, but I’m pretty sure we can tell what it isn’t.
Which would be…. a dog toy.
Linus? Linus Van Pelt?

This is from the period, approximately mid-1920s through mid-1930s, when Neysa McMein did all the cover paintings for McCall’s.

“Bamboo-made” is odd phrasing… hopefully ESL, not AI.

Did someone say “cheese”?
A waggly Mohawk?!?

Don’t worry about their safety…. they’re statues.
In downtown Singapore, they’re part of the People of the River Statues series along the Singapore River.
“First Generation” “depicts five early immigrant boys jumping into the water.”
No… I don’t know where they immigrated from.

Found it!
Same here.
Found it.
Easy.
It’s not exactly hiding, is it?
looks like whoever put this together simply pasted a panda head right into the ‘sea of Snoopys’
found it!

Ratcatchers. I wonder if they got paid by the head? They look like they’ve been eating well.

So when do they get bare?
Mary had a little lamb,
She also had a bear,
I’ve often seen her little lamb,
But I’ve never seen her bear…..
They should consult a doctor about that.
Shame on you people!

Very well-developed then.

Am I weird? The beetle posters were the best part of the Beatles’ song!
Are those two sentences related?
I mean, do I have to consider the statement when I answer the question?
I get it (your comment). The posters depicting beetles.
So, are you an entomologist or a coleopterist?
In stark contrast to yesterday’s “flat basset”, I am pleased to present the opposing argument in the form of “zoomies”:
Definitely having a good time. Dogs almost always do well when they have a companion to romp with.
St Edmundsbury Cathedral, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, UK.
The view shows the inside of the new tower that was completed in 2005.
Impressive from the outside as well. A bit north and east of London. Looks like they had some history with Viking raids and such. Is it near you?
