Photographs I've gleaned from flea markets, junk shops and sometimes ebay. The cheaper the better. Anything with a story that can be extracted from hand written notes, location research, local histories, census records......anything. A small band of fellow enthusiasts worldwide have helped me with many of these. Of course there are always mysteries that defy research, but there's even a story inside these. All images can be viewed at super-size on Flickr.

Mother with six children. Leven, Fife, Scotland.
Mother with six children. Leven, Fife, Scotland. (enlarged detail)


Here we see the inverse of the photographs in my previous post. A mother surrounded by her children, but with no father in evidence. Perhaps he was dead, or just at work.
