Been awash with nostagia this week and been sorting out some of the photos from my blog from the distant past (well 15 years ago) and found copies of these from my 40mm Imaginations project . This is one of my favorite photos , from H.G. Wells and the El-Gin Marbles showing some of the participants .
Another photo of the Dramatis Personae , stood in front of a revolutionary Steam Carriage .
This is a bit of an oddity from the vaults of the Felpersham University Photographic Collection (FUPC)*, I have been able to identify some of the people in the photo . from the left - Mr Oscar Wilde , Mr Armitage Shanks (?) , A Lady who is Not Mrs Wells and finally H.G.Wells . Hopefull some of these will be returning to the tabletop soon.
* the advantage of having a Borsetshire Library/ University readers card.
They are lovely scenes and figures.

ReplyDeleteThink so , it was bought off ebay many years ago.

DeleteI assume the real Mrs Wells never saw these prints?
ReplyDeleteI suspect not (I believec they had a complecated relationship)
DeleteThey are wonderful, if a bit scandalous, That steam carriage is a marvel indeed. It's great that these 'old' photos still hold up after all these years!
