In My Time!
Taken for "Macro Mondays" group theme "Vintage"
At least in my time is the 1938 dated British 'half-penny' showing Sir Francis Drake's 'Golden Hind', built in 1577 and first named 'Pelican' The galleon returned to Deptford, England and was on display until the 1660s when it was beginning to break up. Scrapped in 1668 some timber salvaged is reputed to exist as a chair in the Bodleian Library, Oxford .
The background leather replicates part of a design used for a cover on a book titled 'Chroniques' published 1514 in Paris.
Both happened to be on my desk for this quick 'one off' photograph.
