Landing at Dinard

My Edwardians are holidaying in France for this week's Sepia Saturday. They've landed at Dinard in Brittany where we last saw them waiting for tea after a bathe.

More boats, water and all manner of old images over at Sepia Saturday

A long skirt

Out of the variety of possible themes for this week's Sepia Saturday, I've gone for the long skirt option. Possibly not a 'dangerous' long skirt and certainly not one worn by a worker, but I can't imagine trying to move around wearing that amount of fabric without falling over my feet.
One of 36 London cartes de visite from Peggy's box of photographs; this one by Brixton photographer Henry Ward was taken between 1866 and 1871 when his studio was at 19 Spencer Place, Brixton Road.  Peggy's box contained 80 cartes de visite - 36 from London; 10 from Ilminster, Somerset; 13 from Bridgwater, Devon and 21 from other locations across England.
