    Hi there! I picked up this beautiful pillow a while back, it has a picture of the RMS Niagara on it as well as what appears to be a signature that I can't make out. My grandmother had a pillow that was made in a very similar style to this one, with a picture of the William Jolly Bridge in Brisbane, Queensland. Does anyone know anything about either of these pillows? I am very curious as to where they came from and would be grateful for any information that you could provide! :)

    There are instructions on site here on how to reduce the size of your image, if that is the problem......you are allowed up to 10 images per post!!! Here are some links to the instructions:

    As an added note, when you have your photos LISTED, BUT BEFORE you hit POST, please click on the wording that says to "INSERT EVERY IMAGE AS FULL IMAGE" !! That way, we're not clicking on little thumbnails, but get to see all of the images full sized!! Thanks!

    Without wishing to in anyway detract from Komokwa's excellent post, I personally use FastStone photo resizer. Speaking as someone who cannot even spell compoter, cumpoter, competer................. er, Laptop, let alone use one, I have found this system extremely easy and user friendly. And it is FREE too!
