A keen footballer

Sepia Saturday has gone a little football crazy this week and here's a young lad who obviously enjoys his football.

Written on the reverse: Paul Diggens, Dover, age 11/12. Paul's football strip and boots look in good nick but I fear that ball has seen better days.

I have a tiny family photograph for this week's Sepia Saturday - the image is only 38mm (1½ in) wide.

This is my Auntie Laura (1916-1974), Mum's younger sister, taken during the 1930's when she worked at the Meadow Dairies shop in Boothferry Road, Goole. Mum always used to joke that Laura got the looks and she got the brains! Laura was Roger's mother and I spent many happy childhood days at their house. The things I remember most about Laura are her fabulous baking and her lovely smile.

Bride and groom

German elegance

I'm going with an elegant outfit theme for this week's Sepia Saturday. The photograph is dated 1904 and cost me the princely sum of 15p several years ago. I don't know the identity of the subject but I'm deeply impressed by both her posture and her outfit, particularly that gorgeous feather-trimmed fur hat.

On the reverse: Frau Sophie Rumbler, Atelier fur moderne kunstlerische Photographie. Wiesbaden, Wilhelmstrasse 14. Fernsprecher 2135. The date, December 1904, is hand written.

Smile

I can't seem to find an image that does justice to this week's Sepia Saturday prompt so I'm going completely off topic with a cheeky and very charming smile.

It's another of my 'unknowns'; I think you can almost hear the chuckle!
