| Photograph : The National Archives, United Kingdom |
Most of the "themers" amongst us were stumped by the ice lake last week, so this week my archive photograph is perhaps easier to follow. The driver of the car is the Hon Charles Stewart Rolls - who later went on to become one of the founding partners of Rolls-Royce - and sat next to him is Prince George, the Duke of York (who later went on to become King George V). The photograph was taken in 1900.
Of course you don't need to follow the theme. All you have to do is to use an old photograph (whether sepia or not, it doesn't matter) as the basis for a blog post. Try to publish it on or around Saturday 5th February and add a link to the Linky List below. Link back to the Sepia Saturday Blog in your post and try and visit as many of the other Sepia contributors as you can. It's an easy and smooth process : as smooth as a ride in a Rolls-Royce.
This photograph speaks volumes about the age, and the man. Most interesting!
ReplyDeleteI have to thank Queenmothermamaw for inviting me here.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how faithful i will be weekly, but will give it a go.

ReplyDeleteHmmm ... I posted and added a commen. My posting is still there but the comment has gone. Maybe I never added it - yesterday was a long day. Anyway, my sepia saturday submission is up.

I will have my link up right soon, we have a party to attend this eve so won't have time to do it later. Magnificent auto photo, but mine is something that struck me to wondering (wandering thru my stuff) this week.
ReplyDeleteTen minutes past midnight and mine is up.
ReplyDeleteMy auto photo is a little more modest.
ReplyDeleteWell, I have a post that has nothing to do with vehicles, but can I make a second posting? I do have a recent post with a fantastic old car in it.
ReplyDeleteWhowerethey : The rules (which I have just made up) state that the maximum number of posts one person can contribute in any one week is 1,274 : so feel free to make a second posting.
ReplyDeleteOK, so I pinched a Google photo, but I thought it about time Man's Best Friend got a look in! LOL.(Sorry!)
ReplyDeleteDada's sketches are still producing the goods for your treasure trove of memorabilia...
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic car! I've a vintage car post on the blog, but I'm having a 1920's picnic this week if anyone would like to join me! Jo :-)
ReplyDeleteJust A Quicky This Week!

N.B.: from now on, i shall visit those who chose to interact with me, leaving a comment on my post of the week, as my time is as precious as everybody else. no offence meant to the others, but...
American motorists for me this week with just a touch of Amy.
ReplyDeleteMine is in! With a bit of a twist so to include your interesting theme (briefly) on Mr. Rolls! How clever a man he was, and I wonder what more he could have accomplished had he lived longer!
ReplyDeletewonderful photo, this is my first week at posting (after seeing Sepia Saturday on Christine H's winderful postcard blog)so I hope I have done it right :)
ReplyDeleteDo you suppose those old cars had a drain in the floor for rainy days? This is a great photo! Hopefully a warm cup of soup and a good brandy awaited them inside.
ReplyDeleteOne can learn a great deal about fashions in gentlemens' hats in 1900. And the general level of jollity around at the time . . . a memorable photo.
ReplyDeleteLooks like they could use a brolly or two!
ReplyDeleteI've just posted what will probably be my only Sepia Saturday post, since these are the only old photos I have.
Ah, thank you Alan! This is what Tattered and Lost calls a vernacular photo - a snapshot catching folks in their normal activities. Plus a photo in a cemetery. Cue weird organ music, lol. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh my that is one fine looking car! I would love to see it bouncing along a country road.
ReplyDeleteMy photo this week is of an unknown child, taken in San Francisco in around the late 1870s.
Its my first post on my family blog and the sepia photo is one of my favourites.
ReplyDeleteIm late but I submitted before Sunday.
ReplyDeleteA car and piles of photos. Finally got this weeks Sepia Saturday post in.
ReplyDeleteThanks to everyone who has contributed to make this a real bumper Sepia Saturday. I will get round to those I haven't visited yet later today - om ,y return from a day out in Sheffield
ReplyDeleteOk my first post for sepia saturday is not on-topic, and its a day late, but I will try harder next week...
