One H.J.Perry provides an old man looking at mice, charmingly rendered in Indian ink, to Elfreda's Album, 10/11/1905. On March the 4th, 1905, a British, middle class Teenager called Elfreda M. Jones was given the gift of a photograph album for her birthday. Evidently an imaginative, well read young lady, she started it with a poem, proclaiming that all who were curious enough to open it has to contribute to a page. The result is a book of watercolours, poetry, literary quotes, prose, messages and cartoons spanning just under ten years. A truly spellbinding look into the life of a young lady and her talented friends. #photoalbum #antiques #victorianantique #edwardian #edwardianantique #photography #art #poetry #antiquebook #vintage #vintagebook #scrapbook #unusual #curio #oldbook #oldscrapbook #oldalbum #vintageart #livinghistory #history #heritage #historic #parlourgames #oddities #cartoon #ink

Photographing old scrapbooks and photo albums takes a huge amount of discipline for me because I want to stop and examine every piece of paper. #scrapbook #oldscrapbook #paper #ephemera #paperephemera #vintagepaper #vintagescrapbook #memories #paperofthepast #vintagestyle #antiquestyle #collecting #etsy #etsyvintage #etsyseller #etsyshop #cascadebooksellers

"To Freda; Oh! 'Tis hard to be working The whole of the live long day When all the neighbours about one Are off to their jaunts and play. There's Richard, he carries his baby And Mary takes little Jane. And lovingly, they'll be wandering Through field and Briery Lane" D. Wapshott captures Mary Barton's Manchester song in Elfreda's album, 14/12/1905. On March the 4th, 1905, a British, middle class Teenager called Elfreda M. Jones was given the gift of a photograph album for her birthday.

Sometimes you can't make these things up.

Patient in work: They've invented pajamas that you can wear outside.

Me: They're called clothes.

Its up to you! I'm 23 so I'm lucky - I got to see them loads in 2005/6 type time when 3 cheers came out and I was about 16/17 so I own tshirts and stuff from then. What Im offering is something an old boyfriend thought I would like but Ive never worn. Im serious. Will take a pic tomorrow for you if you want. I'd rather someone put it to use, even as a tshirt to sleep in!! x

I wish i could have seen them then! i've only seen them once, last year. And i would actually absolutely love the t-shirt, i just felt kind of bad about taking it. That's so kind of you, seriously.

The first hand drawn entry to Elfreda Jones' album, by W.C. Wearn, 18th of April, 1905 - a scene from "Comedy of Errors", beautifully drawn in ink pen.
