Text of the page (random words):
ion for boys since the 1840s when the future edward vii put one on but by the 1910s every five year old girl had to have one too taxidermist and photographer theo upton barber aka tubs was born in wisconsin but moved to england around the turn of the century and opened his studio at 84 preston road in faversham kent in 1911 in an era when it s not unusual for men to extend their childhoods into their thirties photos like this are a sharp reminder that a century ago children began their move into adulthood as soon as they handed down their child uniforms to their younger brothers and sisters around five years old this boy isn t even ten yet already he dresses like a pocket version of his father right down to the watch chain even his pose is adult like the photographer was frederick southwell who operated studios in battersea hammersmith and wandsworth and apparently was no relation to his namesake of the better known southwell brothers do you know who is sitting on the other side of lucy henson written in a child s uncertain handwriting posted from batley near leeds and addressed to a mrs rolandson of grewelthorpse near ripon in yorkshire we can assume that s lucy on the stile and by the other side the writer means of the camera again we get that notion that will increasingly cease to have relevance as the twentieth century progresses that the child is just a pocket version of the adult the photographer is not identified but from the quality of the print and the evidence of studio lighting we can say he or she was a professional the performers are strictly amateur which is not to say they are bad ham seems a useful word here there are hundreds of thousands of photographs of children in fancy dress from the edwardian period not so many of them performing for the camera as here the wall at the back and the parquetrie on the floor are sufficiently indeterminate to make it understand whether this was taken in a private home or a school i suspect the latter more role playing there was a moment roughly between 1895 and 1910 when people could believe that the upcoming century would put technology to good and with our extended life spans better education and concordant freedoms most problems would disappear by the time this photo was taken that dream was in ruins these lads are too young to have flown in a proper warplane but just the right age to catch the experience the next time it came around just over twenty years later this photo was likely taken in 1907 the year twelve year old frances bradley storr baptised babies but also adults into her primitive methodist sect before congregations of several thousand primitive methodism sounds much what it was passionate revival meetings and hellfire and damnation sermons by the likes of miss storr who had feeling to compensate for her lack of education or straitened background like the peculiar people of plumstead and the new forest shakers from a few years earlier she espoused a religious empowerment of the working class that was socialistic in everything but its politics she was hardly the only child preacher working in england at the time lonnie dennis florrie elkins gertie brackenbury and jack cooke being others but stateside there were reputedly dozens working a kind of sideshow circuit in the 1920s frances and her mother moved to canada where she continued to preach the photographer is unidentified but doncaster photographer luke bagshaw took a lot of her promotional shots posted by one mans treasure at 17 17 0 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels britain childhood history of photography portraits real photo postcards snapshots saturday 17 september 2016 land fourteen photographs of the english landscape the ordinary can be absolutely miraculous simon armitage the fourteen photos here each measuring twelve by eight centimetres were found at spitalfields market some of them look like they are of the moorlands in derbyshire at the edge of the pennines others look like they come from the east coast of yorkshire near scarborough or whitby they lay among small stacks of old hardbacks and ephemera spread across the table the dealer couldn t say much about them except he had had them for some time they d be cheaper the more i bought and they had come with a lot of stuff to do with the festival of britain that made sense the photos looked to be from around that time 1951 and they look to be the work of a professional someone sent out to take a set of photos for a magazine article on the splendours of the north certainly we can see why someone thought there was a landscape worth promoting the pennines and the derbyshire moors which is where we are now decided we are can invoke many associations from pride and prejudice to myra hindley and everything in between but these days simon armitage in particular his translation or interpretation of gawain and the green knight and pearl although the identity original author is unknown scholars agree that he wrote both poems in the late 14 th century and linguistic clues indicate he came from this area a brief synopsis of the first one new year s day the green knight turns up at king arthur s court and asks to have his head cut off sir gawain obliges but must fulfil a promise to meet the beheaded one at the green chapel in a year s time gawain sets out and somewhere in the damp landscape he finds a castle the master welcomes him then heads off the next morning on a hunt while gawain keeps his beautiful wife company and you just have to read it yourself the landscape as armitage describes it anyway is more rugged than these images of moorland suggest more like parts of staffordshire to the west pearl however takes place on open land where a man grieving for his young daughter pearl follows a river and meets a woman walking on the other side they talk across the water and she reveals she is his daughter now grown up and a queen of christ they debate various issues this raises until desperate to reach out to her the man jumps into the river and tries to cross it not that either gawain or pearl are dependent upon the landscape to tell their story although in gawain there is the sense that up here it is wild and rugged especially compared to the more gentle lands in the south where arthur has his court also in both there is an idea that the landscape is mutable which is important in moorland where the weather can shift by the hour even though they are found across britain the dry stone wall is something of an icon on the yorkshire dales the way black windmills belong to norfolk what gives walls like this one their timelessness isn t the stonework so much as the feeling this was built with some purpose in mind but that has been forgotten for centuries it meanders across the land speaking of norfolk this looks so much like the coast around cromer and happisburgh that we could put all doubt aside that exposed reef can be thought of as the edge of doggerland the now submerged plain that once linked britain to europe and was home to mammoths lions rhinos and neanderthals our photographer wouldn t have known that or that the oldest relic of any human in europe would be found near here but then in 1951 a lot of people thought anything from the time before the war was old even if i had bought these in another country we d still know it was england the patchwork fields and hedgerows tell us it can t be anywhere else this was no doubt our photographer s intention to get an impression of the land that wasn t just idealized but emblematic and one that visitors as well as citizens would recognize posted by one mans treasure at 16 05 0 comments email this blogthis share

would like to live as we once lived but history will not permit it john f kennedy the act of writing the date on snapshots has the effect of preserving the image not just in its immediate surroundings but globally knowing what we do about the past we can wonder pointlessly how people can appear so blasé with what s unfolding in other parts of the world we don t know the exact day this photo was taken but in saskatchewan at the very beginning of june 1936 the snow had melted from the prairies the sun was out and this young foal born weeks earlier was still finding its feet the boy not a great deal older than the foal certainly with more time to learn life s valuable lessons had a long summer vacation to look forward to in iraq princess azza sister of the king was not so relaxed she had recently married a hotel porter from rhodes so was stripped of her royal privileges meanwhile the chinese government in nanking was pushing for an immediate declaration of war against japan rumours were circulating that a british officer had killed a japanese soldier the british delegation denied reports and ascribed them to chinese paranoia in eighteen months time an estimated 40 000 chinese civilians would be killed in the nanking massacre the earliest photo in this collection comes from quebec and was taken on april 18 1927 over in europe the weather was mostly fine with reports that

destroy christianity meanwhile in belfast edward cullen s murder trial opened he had arrived in england four months earlier in the company of ahmet musa and zara agha reputedly the world s oldest man
