Me too, Pat P, it's very opulent with all the marble and the domed glass roof.
How wonderful that you can see the likeness :-)
Makes sense, evelyb30, thanks :-). I'm struck by the depth of the counter, and how the tellers are so exposed (no divides or partitions).
I haven't heard of it either, Bakersma. I wish I could read the small lettering underneath, but all I can make out is 'Bank Raids'. I guess this...
I wondered about the scales too... I thought it might be a post-office at first, until I saw the 'Bank Raids' notice. Hmm, could still be a...
I came across this framed photo in a charity shop yesterday, and almost didn't buy it... walked out of the door, and immediately went back in...
What a beautiful portrait, Bakersma :). I admire the photographers that went the extra mile with the lighting and posing... it's lovely how your...

Hi, just thought I'd share a few photos from an album I came across recently. It belonged to Maria Bailey, a present on her 18th birthday in 1895...
Thanks... now that I look again, I think you may be right!
I love these! Probably because they take me straight back to childhood, being so brightly coloured and expressive... I'm a child of the 60s ;-)....
This portrait is in it's original wooden frame & carefully taking it apart (simple metal clips hold the back in place) reveals no information on...
