I'm pretty sure that the photo is late Victorian, by which time it was easier to take snapshots without having to remain still for two minutes. <br /><br />I remember reading a 1930s memoir of a Victorian childhood in which the author contrasted the stern-looking photos of her family without the reality of a laughter-filled household.<br /><br />Perhaps it's the other way round these days.Steerforthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07627936539372313828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32570460.post-48353730298696423692013-01-03T11:59:20.394+00:002013-01-03T11:59:20.394+00:00Steerforth

I hope that you, your family and business all flourish in 2013.<br /><br />It's nice that the Victorians (?) in the final picture look positively happy and beaming, especially the ladies on the left. Quite different from the normal stony faces. (Perhaps a joke has just been shared at the gentleman's expense?)

Why else would he be wearing dungarees and a neckerchief (unless he's a children's television presenter)?<br /><br />Rog - Is your response a reaction to the shapely, tanned legs or the presence of a hoover? Or the combination of both? That's what I'd like to know ;)Steerforthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07627936539372313828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32570460.post-44790456609805942422013-01-03T10:39:38.992+00:002013-01-03T10:39:38.992+00:00Is it me or is the vacuum cleaner pic strangely er...Is it me or is the vacuum cleaner pic strangely erotic.<br /><br />Ok it's me.Roghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09430706557035189147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32570460.post-59969719800609017922013-01-03T02:46:44.009+00:002013-01-03T02:46:44.009+00:00The one of the person asleep (passed out drunk?) o...The one of the person asleep (passed out drunk?) on the sofa seems to me the hardest to understand, assuming a bookmark photograph is used not just to mark a place but also to remind you of a time you were happy or a wonderful day or something. Unless the person pictured only ever had a chance to sleep/pass out drunk that one time and spent the rest of their existence driven by obligations and responsibilities - but then they wouldn't need a bookmark because they'd have no time to read (or was it in a book about management?) <br />Happy New Year. It's always a delight to notice a new post is up on your blog.zmkchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08972549292961948240noreply@blogger.com
