Our theme image for Sepia Saturday 229 - post your posts on or around Saturday 24 May 2014 - comes from the Flickr Commons collection of the State Archives of North Carolina and shows a dorm room at a typical North American College in 1917. It is a print from a glass plate negative and it would appear to have suffered from the ravages of time. There are a host of possible themes you might like to follow ranging from the girls in their room to the pennants and banners on the wall or even that somewhat rudimentary plumbing next to the window. I must confess to being a little taken with the wallpaper - I am sure I used to have some like that in my bedroom when I was young. Whatever you decide to go with, just post your post, link it to the list below and fly the Sepia Saturday pennant on your blog. But before that, take a look at what exciting things lie just around the sepia corner.
230 : Women with long hair and .... women with long hair
231 : By popular demand .... it's do what you want week
Such things are for the future. Now it is time to go to your rooms and see what you can come up with for Sepia Saturday 229. Good luck.
Ha ha, me first! The pics for my post this week are 1953 or so, and tie in with a previous post about "dancing-in" rock and roll.
ReplyDeleteHello Alan, hoping all is well. Things are a bit busy on my end, so I'm posting early for me! I feel horrible about missing time here!
ReplyDeleteWow, I am excited, to be second on the list this week!

ReplyDeleteThe girls in the prompt look too young for college, and the large bows and baby dolls are not typical for college students.
ReplyDeleteI started with pennants and ended with music.
ReplyDeleteDolls are my theme for this week.
ReplyDeleteArmy connotations for me.

ReplyDeleteCollege girls aplenty, some musical, some with a penchant for Robert Redford!
ReplyDeleteI've got a perfect match for kids on a bed!
ReplyDeleteThere were three in the bed and the little one said…
ReplyDeleteMy mother's college days, plus a couple of bed photos from me.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how popular those big bows were at one time.
ReplyDeleteSo many great entries. It's kind of a pain for a non-Blogspot blogger to sign in on those accounts. So I am enjoying what I see, but don't have the patience to sign in on Google, (a company I pretty much abhor).
ReplyDeleteMy husband's grandmother was a school boarder.
