Sepia Saturday
Our prompt for Sepia Saturday is this photo above of four people enjoying a park while perched on a bench. How appealing to spend a morning or afternoon on a bench with friends.
Here's what I found wandering through the Library of Congress:
Culter, Richard, Artist. Fashion notes / Richard Culter + AC/14. , 1914. New York: Published by Puck Publishing Corporation, 295-309 Lafayette Street. Photograph. https://www.loc.gov/item/2011649771/.
Harris & Ewing, photographer. Child on Park Bench. United States, 1932. [or 1933] Photograph. https://www.loc.gov/item/2016889956/.

Such a charming picture of the little girl, and I had to smile at the group of somewhat elderly ladies enjoying their gossip in the park.
ReplyDeletePerfect finds to match the prompt. The first pic of the fellows reading the paper on the bench remind me of the days I was commuting to work on the bus to San Francisco from the East Bay. Just about everyone - myself included - on the afternoon ride home was reading the Oakland Tribune which published an East Bay afternoon paper. Some, during the morning commute would be reading a San Francisco morning paper, the but just about everyone on the afternoon ride home had their noses in the Tribune. :)
ReplyDeleteNowadays they'd be staring at their phones... ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat choices. I like the idea of bench warmers with a newspaper that might take all day to read, but Monica has it right for our modern times. Sad.
