Escribano -> (Not) my photo of the week 34 (Mar. 30 2012 14:10:47)

I found some glass slides at a flea market last weekend. I bought all those with people in them, scanned them and cleaned them up on the computer.

All taken in England around 1900-1910, this one is my favourite:

Love it Simon. I have family photos going this far back. My favourite is one of soldiers in tents by the Pyramids, they are flashing the peace sign and look as if they are smoking joints. Must try and scan them.

This is amazing.

it is good .. although I cant belive that lady will make that leap over the river wearing that heavy dress , even with a hand ....a few seconds later may have been a better photo..
And the guy giving a hand is also carrying a pipe in the other hand ? and all watched by the other guy very nonchalantly with arms and legs crossed , I presume thats the husband waiting to say " I told you so " to the wife very soon now ..
This is Victorian hiking gear... I think those moustaches should come back just for fun value alone .....

Now I see why I can´t see the pics. It´s flicker, which again is being blocked.

I love watching old / antique photographies. Especially when faces can be seen well.
They tell so much about changes of mentality we have come to. Most of all about much less nervous tension common folks used to have.

A landscape as in the picture above, btw. used to rather be considered unformed to majority of those times contemporaries.
That "weed" needed to be cleared first and the ground paved for a place to appear appealing then.
Ideas of thelikes Henry David Thoreau´s were those of outsiders still.
Just sayin´.

Certain that the Photograph is so magical! ...
especially when it comes to images of the past in which appear the figures of the people.
Some time looking at them you feel like being pulled by the hair into "The Past"!.

very nice photo!

ciao,

I like the rocks. Especially that big square one behind the lady thats going to jump. It looks totally out of place. Big and perfectly square.
I would have liked to live back then. We dont get rocks like that these days. But we get a lot of polluted nature and cars everywhere.

Any info regarding the location? It would be fun to go back there and take a photo. See if those rocks are still there.

I think it is in Yorkshire. Here is another one from the same photographer of Knaresbourough and the same location today, that I tracked down.

Nice work finding it. If your ever in the area perhaps you could ask some of the kids around if they recognize the location of the stream. I know when i was a kid i knew all the local creeks, streams. I explored them all. I even explored through all the pitch black storm water drains.

Amazing finds! Glass slides? You could use them as panes in your greenhouse.

Only if your green house was Really really small . .. or you had loads and loads of them ....
This would be one expensive green house

Marvellous - such a lucky find. I agree with Rico that it's very unlikely that the lady in the centre is about to make it across the stream even with a hand from the gent. I think she's just handing him the pipe cleaners.

We have photos of my grandmothers in outfits like that with the big hats, but not doing anything so adventurous. They were from oop north too. I wonder if the place is still there, or if it disappeared under the Upper Nidderdale reservoirs.

They don't make them like they used to...

P.S. This is how they cross the river these days:

Great Knaresborough Bed Race

I love all those little rowing skiffs. The main difference is that nowadays noone rows them. Besides that, its actually prettyer today
