Is this the same man?

Comparing this CDV with the one from yesterday's post, it looks to me as though they both feature the same man.

An unknown family

Sepia Saturday this week is about families - in particular, unknown families. My image is from a box of photographs (mainly cartes de visite plus a few cabinet cards) given to me about 25 years ago by Peggy, a friend of my mum - she'd found the photographs in the loft of a house in the Brixton Hill area of London when she moved there in the 1970s. None of the sitters are identified; two of the photographs are dated 1866.

More families, known and unknown, over at Sepia Saturday.

Studious young lady

I'm following one of the themes suggested for this week's Sepia Saturday with this postcard of a watch-wearing young lady. Her watch looks to be a slimmer, probably later version of the fob-watch-come-wrist-watch worn here.
Stamped on the reverse: F. H. Howells, Photographer, 128 Widnes Road, Widnes.

Lads in caps

Sepia Saturday has several possible themes this week; I've chosen lads wearing caps.

The arrow points to my dad - he's on a school trip to Carlton Towers, the Duke of Norfolk's Victorian gothic country house between Goole and Selby. The date of the photograph is some time during the early 1920s. In those days most males, regardless of age, wore headgear of some sort although I can see a couple of chaps at the back who are bareheaded. It's a tiny photograph (66mm x 50mm) and rather battered; I'm surprised you can make out so much detail.
