Hi all. ;) Today I am doing a post of vintage pictures I have collected. (Off of the internet) I love all of these photos and I'm sure you will too! I'll start off with the ones containing animals. This is a portrait of a cat (Obviously) taken in 1880. I guess back then hair salons were kid and pet friendly! This is just plain adorable! Her puffy dress, the dog's face... This is just about perfect as well! 1905 portrait of Anna Pavlova and her beloved pet swan. A Vogue magazine advertisement. I love Great Danes! (And her hat!) Now the unusual and heart-rending ones. Could this photo be any more cute??? A circa 1920 (Pretty strange for her to be dressing that daringly so early in the century) photo of a couple riding on a very strange side-by-side bike. Anyone else ever seen a bike like this? I would love to know what she's laughing at, wouldn't you? ;-) Pioneer woman collecting buffalo chips. (For those of you unknowledgeable in that term: buffalo manure was used for fuel on the Oregon trail and called chips.) This Edwardian photograph was taken in 1912 of these eight beautiful sisters. Cute. :-] Isn't this just priceless? Sailors bidding farewell to their girls from the portholes. Titled,"Kiss the girls and make 'em cry." Now that is a fancy barbershop. A Dior dress model and maids peeking around the corner. Look closely. I almost fainted at the very thought of doing what those men are doing. I'm not necessarily afraid of heights, but I draw the line at balancing on the top of a church steeple!!! The next three are war-time post-bombing pictures. Little girl and her doll. Boy reading book titled,"The History of London". An abandoned boy and his stuffed elephant toy. Teatime. Just like Mommy. ;) No comment. (Hahaha...) Girls and boys listening to records, 1950's. I'm seeing lots-a-dots. 1912 Belfast civilians bidding goodbye to their masterpiece---the Titanic. A very stylishly dressed african-american late 1940's. Hair tape- I wish I had some! Sunday best. Three young girls pre- child labor laws. An elderly woman playing her eight-string guitar. Looks like someone wasn't very happy about 'take your kid to work day'. ;-) A suffragette. This whole picture is strange. And do you know what those little buildings on wheels are? I wouldn't have guessed it. Okay, maybe I would have. ;) They are portable bathrooms! Bringing in the sheaves. A girl's best friend. I love button-up shoes! Miss Maude Fealy, silent film star (1881-1971) A make-do playground. A former slave 70 years after the Civil War. A lacrosse team from 1893... These shoes are wonderful! Garden club gossip... "Well, I never!" A blizzard in 1888. A girl waiting for her turn in the photo booth. Note: women all doing their hair while they wait. :) I truly do think it would be fun to have a jukebox. I'll have to settle for my record player though. :-) Any takers? Like father like son. No one knows who this elegantly dressed toddler is. (1899) While this photograph isn't very modest, I had to put it on here. Anyone else know what they are doing? They are drawing lines on their legs with an eyebrow pencil because of the shortage of nylons during World War 2. Under the circumstances, it was the only thing to do. ;-D The first skateboard?? Mothers saying goodbye to their children who were being shipped off to the safety in the country. A well-padded little skater. Some 'rough and tough' bikers! A well known picture of V-Day. I think I would give all of my savings account for hair like this! Or this!!!! Hmm... Funny...? Drawing water. A Michigan mother (Dust Bowl) migrant worker. During the 'Dirty Thirties'. Red Cross nurses playing kickball in heels! This is the woman, Geraldine Hoff Doyle, that 'Rosie the Riveter' was modeled after. Go on home young man! :) A beautiful portrait. Entertained? I love that wallpaper! A Singer treadle sewing machine... A beautiful photograph. Window wash line/ back alley. A hardworking farm girl. The most adorable picture ever. An African boy and his pet rooster. The Hindenburg. 1930 Teenage delinquents. Now for "V.I.P.s"! Or well-known folks as I call 'em. First up is Mary Pickford. She starred in silent films and then when 'talkies' came about, starred in those as well. Since she was so small and had a child-like face, she played a very wide range of characters. This is when she is much older, and it is after she cut off her infamous curly locks in exchange for a modern pixie bob. Does anyone know who this beautiful little girl is? Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, future queen of England. Here she is with her daughters Elizabeth and Margaret years later. Hans Christian Anderson, an author of many of my favorite books. Kate Warne. First female detective, master of disguise. She once saved President Lincoln from assassination on the way to Washington. She is buried next to Allen Pinkerton. Elizabeth Cochran. ( a.k.a. Nellie Bly) She was a news reporter who went undercover in an Asylum to uncover the evil treatment of the 'lunatics'. She also traveled around the world in 72 days without a chaperone. All before she was 25 years of age she was the most famous woman on earth. Someone even trademarked a parlor game called 'Around the World with Nellie Bly'. Florence Nightingale, a founder of the Red Cross. Norman Rockwell: no introduction needed. ;-) The Wright brothers. Eleanor Roosevelt. Elvis Presley. (He once attended an Assembly of God church.) Annie Oakley! Sharpshooter Annie Oakley aims with a mirror for a behind the back shot. ;-) Well. That took a while! This may be the longest post I will ever author. What was your favorite photo? Have you ever seen any of them before? Do you have a passion for vintage photos? Well, as I said, this has taken a long time and I am late to do the evening chores. And without further ado, ttfn, ~Rebekah

Japan after the surrender. Anti fraternization laws (as in force in Germany and Japan) forbade that a US soldier approaching a little too close to a girl from a country "enemy." It was surely not to protect these girls from possible violence, but it was mostly to prevent young Americans will fraternize with "the devil"... As you can see, total fiasco of this law. US soldier and Japanese girl sharing cigarettes, which soldiers are forbidden to give away. US soldier and local girl sharing a chocolate bar and cigarettes. US soldier and local girl sharing a kiss, which is not allowed. US soldier and local girl sharing a meal in local establishment, with shoes sitting by door. US soldier giving civilian girl a ride in jeep, which is against occupation regulations. US soldier giving Japanese girl a bicycle ride, with handlebar riding forbidden. US soldiers can give Japanese girls a ride in US vehicles when they are on Red Cross tours. US soldier and a Japanese girl can hold hands in public. US soldier and Japanese girl rowing on pond, which is permissible. US soldier and local girl attending a dance together. US soldier and local girl reading military restrictions about riding trains.

Officially confined to red-light districts, brothels in British India were tolerated until the 1920s. Yet, by this time, prostitution reform campaigns led by Indian, imperial, and international bodies were combining the social scientific insights of sexology and hygiene with the moral condemnations of sexual slavery and human trafficking. These reformers identified the brothel as exacerbating rather than containing "corrupting prostitutes" and the threat of venereal diseases, and therefore encouraged the suppression of brothels rather than their urban segregation. In this book, Stephen Legg tracks the complex spatial politics surrounding brothels in the interwar period at multiple scales, including the local, regional, national, imperial, and global. Campaigns and state policies against brothels did not just operate at different scales but made scales themselves, forging new urban, provincial, colonial, and international formations. In so doing, they also remade the boundary between the state and the social, through which the prostitute was, Legg concludes, "civilly abandoned." 9780822357735 0822357739 0 BOOK History NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=hjyNoAEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en | Author: Stephen Legg | Publisher: Duke University Press Books | Publication Date: Sep 19, 2014 | Number of Pages: 281 pages | Language: English | Binding: Paperback | ISBN-10: 0822357739 | ISBN-13: 9780822357735

A plaque commemorating the infamous Peterloo Massacre, which took place at St Peter’s Field in Manchester on 16 August 1819. The event occurred when regular soldiers and local yeomanry tried to break up a crowd who had gathered to protest against the economic conditions and in favour of suffrage. They had been brought in because it was feared the local special constables would not be able to control the large crowds. The gathering was to be addressed by radical speaker Henry Hunt and his arrival was met with a wild reception. Fearing the worst, local magistrates asked the military to take action. The yeoman and regular cavalry charged the loud, but otherwise peaceful, crowd and trapped them between themselves and the 88th Regiment of Foot. Around a dozen people were killed. In addition, between 400-700 were injured. The events sparked rioting in the New Cross area of the city and in Stockport, Macclesfield and Oldham. Due to the bloodshed the event was likened to the Battle of Waterloo. Many journalists were present at the event and the story was widely reported leading to several months of unrest across the country. The massacre is one of the events that brought about a call for a professional civilian police force to be formed.
