Monochrome Monday - 2nd November


Here we have a really old photo of my grandfather possibly taken any time from 1910 to 1930 - it's so difficult to say when ..

Sorry the quality is so bad.


As you can see he was a printer ..

  1. That's a worthy picture. I wish I had one of my uncle with his sidecar outfit circa 1914. I do have some portraits fron the 1890s.

  2. You're lucky to have such a photo. He was a fine-looking man and probably extremely talented to be able to use such intricate equipment. Great history here. :D

  7. That's a very old photo! And a very nice one.

    I like old black and white photos ... Looking at them is like travelling back in time. They always give me a wonderful feeling.
