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.
Very smart pram in the first picture. I wonder if the baskets on the pram were for hops; perhaps they were collecting them to do some home brewing. And baby John is a charmer.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful pram! I wonder what the conversation between those ladies might have consisted of.
ReplyDeleteWhat an elaborate, ornate wicker pram - you almost don't notice the baby!
ReplyDeleteAll different, interesting, today's prams and strollers are not such a big deal!The little fellow certainly enjoys his outing.
ReplyDeleteThe first photo is interesting both for the wicker pram and the fashions.
ReplyDeleteJohn obviously wanted his hat at a different angle for the photo. Fine wicker pram and that looks like bracken in the background to the second shot.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's bracken. It's an enlarged section of this one: http://flic.kr/p/b9sx9K
DeleteNice variety ... loved the look on the lady's face in the top one, and that cute baby with the hat is just darling.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

A wonderful selection of photos. The first one is just wonderful. I love it. How elegant(and wealthy)they all look.
ReplyDeleteThe first photo shows a Rolls Royce of prams, and just look at the flowers on the lady's hat! Baby John is so cute with his little hat on :-) Jo
