We're done with work here on Sepia Saturday. Well, after this week, we are done with our monthly work theme here on Sepia Saturday and it's not a moment too soon for some of us - as you can tell from this late call for proposals (and thank you Barbara for reminding me). Our weekly image shows some poor chap sat at a desk with an overflowing work tray (it is E D Morrel and not E D Mossel as my caption suggests - yet another sign of overwork). But forget the lateness and the mistakes - just try and come up with a picture of some old overworked guy whose gradually sinking under a pile of papers (all I need to do is to look in a mirror). Whatever you come up with, come up with it on or around Saturday 30th March 2024 and add a link to the list below. Next month we have a new theme for our old photos - two together. Here is a preview of the weekly images.
Thanks Alan. I know Gail has already posted her great post about office jobs etc. I just posted a lot of photos to see how many people might recognized women authors. But I do give the answers at the bottom.
ReplyDeleteWell, I had my post ready to go but couldn't post it till the prompt was up. Now it is, and I've posted my post. :))
ReplyDeleteIt has been a while but SS is like a magnet, old hands always return. I will try to come up with a post once every month at least but no promises! Expect to read many inspiring posts!
ReplyDeleteMy post is about my grandfathers both being seated in the front row.
A tribute to my father whose working life began at the age of 14, and the story of his bureau, a 1938 wedding present from my mother where he did much of his paperwork whether for work or leisure. Plus a summary of my own working life which came to reflect so many of my father's activities. Thanks, Alan, for an engrossing March theme.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why my first posting did not register, but Scotsue 2 seems fine.
ReplyDeleteI think I may have a fair match for this theme. Unfortunately it doesn't have a map of Africa. But it's musical, and short for a change.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this prompt. I'm glad March featured many sorts of work.
ReplyDeleteNightingail, who could forget Eunice, the operator?
