Our Sepia Saturday theme image this week looks at that most familiar item of household furnishing - the desk. Whether covered with books or papers, photographs or paintings, typewriters or computers; the desk is always with us. I know that these days people are enticed by laptops and palmtops and tablets you can curl up on an easy chair with, but for me you can't beat the sensible solidity of a desk. My image for Sepia Saturday 773 - post your posts on or around Saturday 3rd May 2025 and add a link to the list below - is a photograph of my desk from more than fifty years ago. For younger readers I should point out that the strange machine is in fact a typewriter! If you want to follow the theme you can feature desks or typewriters, books or papers - or you can ignore the theme all together. Just share an old image and what it means to you.

My focus was on the spectacles in the prompt image. Cue for me to look back at my life as "a speccy four eyes" !
I've sat at a number of desks in my lifetime. Here are a few noteables.
My contribution this week may seem familiar to some of you, as the prompt brought me back to some favourite photos that I've already used for similar themes in the past (work, and typewriters)...
Just a musician's desk from me this weekend.
The typewriter brings back memories of my high school days. I am 68 now but have not forgotten the typewriters I used over the years when I worked in an office.
Better late than... Just some ideas and photos of creativity in writing.
Hi , Monica - I continue to have problems replying to your posts as clicking on the Google key just returns me to the beginning of your post. I enjoyed reading your story of Gustaf - be sounds an enterprising man who fulfilled his dream. it was reassuring to read your comment about repeating posts - as I am the same - recycling/adapting articles from my last 14 years of blogging - I just am not getting any new vintage photograhs of my family,.
