Sepia and Black and White

This group of people with a little dog have mostly faded to a sepia tinge, apart from that is the head of the man centre back, and the tree branches behind him, which for some reason did not get so exposed to the light. The picture has a floral theme. The men have flowers in lapels, two ladies have flowers in belts, and the other lady holds some flowers.

Got your P.C.

This one is from Rutherglen in Glasgow in 1910. The address is in beautiful copperplate script, even the numbers are joined up. The message says...

Dear Neice

Got your P.C.

I see that you are getting on very well at school. Come at Christmas. Grandma going to have a big pudding.
