... for the Carnation. It's Act I for the button because it's the first time I've photographed it. :)
The button is French and dates from the 1900s. It's hand painted and has areas of both champlevé and guilloché enamel.
Belo-sur-Mer - Ce petit village côtier qui fait face au canal du Mozambique est connu pour ses chantiers navals spécialisés dans la fabrication des boutres. Voiliers en bois, souvent gréés en goélette, sont affectés au transport de marchandise. Ces navires marchands n’étant pas équipés de moteurs, ils naviguent le long des côtes de Madagascar.
Ce savoir-faire dans la construction marine, a été enseigné aux habitants dans le début des années 1900 par Ludovic et Albert Joachim, deux frères d’origine bretonne. Une activité qui perdure aujourd’hui encore, même si la majorité des nouvelles unités sont construites à partir de vieux bateaux de récupération.
Sur la photo, le charpentier ne cherche ps à faire couler le boutre. Il perce un trou dans la coque pour installer une poignée en acier qui permettra aux marins de monter à bord et de fixer des cordages.

Belo-sur-Mer - This small coastal village facing the Mozambique Channel is known for its shipyards specializing in the manufacture of dhows. Wooden sailing ships, often rigged as schooners, are used to transport goods. Since these merchant ships are not equipped with engines, they sail along the coasts of Madagascar.
This know-how in marine construction was taught to the inhabitants in the 1900s by Ludovic and Albert Joachim, two brothers of Breton origin. An activity that still continues today, even if the majority of new units are built from old salvaged boats.
In the photo, the carpenter is not trying to sink the dhow. He is drilling a hole in the hull to install a steel handle that will allow the sailors to climb aboard and attach ropes.
Castle Drogo, the last castle to have been built in England belonged to the Drew family who lived there in the 1900s. Now belonging to the National Trust it has been undergoing a refurbishment to stop the leaky roof so is not looking its best but it sits within the gorgeous Teign Valley which makes up for it. The younger members of the Drew family still have apartments here.
Anyone who has seen the latest series of "All Creatures Great and Small", might recognise this from the first episode. It stood in for Sunderland, when James and Tristan went to visit Mrs Hall at her son's house - one of the houses on the left in this shot.
This shot was taken from the top of one of the trams, a view of the houses can be seen in the comment below.

Generations of families worked down the North East’s pits – it was the industry on which the region’s prosperity was built. In 1913, the year of peak production, 165,246 men and boys worked in Durham’s 304 mines.

Normally, I wouldn't do stuff like this but I just thought you'd like to know. I've seen this band countless times over the past 5 years and they have never disappointed in their live show. You can check out their music on myspace here:
Great music, great people!

One of the most important buildings in Athens, the neoclassical Zappeion Hall is closely linked to the history of modern Greece. Its construction was funded by national benefactor, Evangelos Zappas and was completed in 1888. It was the first building in the world specifically constructed to serve the Olympic Games. After a series of misadventures, Zappas assigned the design to the Danish architect Theophil Hansen but did not live to see the building completed. The Zappeion Hall was put to many uses and for some time, hosted the country’s first state radio station, which began broadcasting in 1938. It has been linked with numerous significant moments in the country’s history, including the signing of the treaty for the accession of Greece to the European Union (then the EEC) on 1 January 1981 by Konstantinos Karamanlis. Since Greece’s return to democracy in 1974, Zappeion has served as the press centre in all of the country’s general elections, providing the setting for the post-election interviews of winners and losers alike. The hall is currently used as an exhibition and congress facility.
In 1869, the Greek Parliament allocated 80,000 square metres (860,000 sq ft) of public land between the Palace Gardens and the ancient Temple of Olympian Zeus, and also passed a law on 30 November 1869, "for the building works of the Olympic Games", as the Zappeion was the first building to be erected specifically for the revival of the Olympic Games in the modern world.[1][2] The ancient Panathenian stadium was also refurbished as part of the works for the Olympic Games. Following some delay, on 20 January 1874, the cornerstone of the building was laid;[3] this new building would be designed by Danish architect Theophil Hansen.[3] Finally, on 20 October 1888, the Zappeion opened.[3] Unfortunately for its benefactor, Evangelis Zappas, he did not live long enough to see the Zappeion built, and his cousin Konstantinos Zappas was nominated by Evangelos Zappas to complete the building
The Zappeion was used during the 1896 Summer Olympics as the main fencing hall. A decade later, at the 1906 Intercalated Games, it was used as the Olympic Village.[5] It served as the first host for the organizing committee (ATHOC) for the 2004 Games from 1998 to 1999 and served as the press center during the 2004 games.

The village of Porthgain has a wealth of historical relics from its time as a prosperous industrial harbour in the early 1900s.
At one time, the harbour exported slate from quarries a few miles south at Abereiddi, Trwynllwyd and Porthgain itself. Abereiddi and the quarries to the South were linked by a tramway. Water-powered mills at Porthgain sawed the quarried slate slabs before shipment.
In later years the slate trade was abandoned, although Porthgain survived by turning to brickmaking, and later to crushed roadstone. Large brick hoppers dominate the harbour. These hoppers were used to store crushed dolerite before shipment and are now a Scheduled Ancient Monument. In 1987 Porthgain was designated as a conservation area. Slate, from a local quarry, was handled through the harbour from 1850 to 1910. Bricks were made in the harbour area from 1889 to 1912 using waste from the slate operation. The crushed dolerite (1889–1931) was used as a road stone.
The harbour, still home to local fishermen, can get very busy in the summer with recreational boaters. Other attractions and conveniences include the Pembrokeshire Coast Path rambling up both sides of the harbour, the “Strumble Shuttle” bus, and the Sloop, which used to be called the “Step In” when boats were able to dock beside the pub and the crews could step in. Porthgain also has the Shed, a small bistro situated by the Quay and the Harbour Lights Gallery, which is located in the manager’s office of the old works.
This storage room is on the outside of the old house we are gradually restoring in rural South Carolina. I’m told that smoked meat and root vegetables were stored here in the late 1800s and early 1900s when the kitchen was outside and electricity had not yet arrived. Most recently, it appears the previous owner used it as an outdoor dog house.
Sunday is Grandparents Day in the US.
This is my maternal great-grandmother, Emma.
Reimagined.
Emma was the youngest of six children and the first to immigrate to the United States from Sweden (Dalarna County.) She was a seamstress to titled ladies in Stockholm before her trans-Atlantic journey. When settled in Chicago, she met and married my great-grandfather, Peter, a widower. They had one child, my grandma Myrle. She had one child, my mother.
Emma was my discipline in the formative years, she was also unconditional love. She taught me to cook and bake and sew and made sure I always remembered I was a Swede.
Many years later, when she began showing signs of dementia, she never once raised her voice to me. And I was always remembered. She died when my son was three weeks old. Five generations for a very brief time.
The original photograph was taken in Sweden about 1900 and she was probably fifteen-ish.

At the turn of the 1900s, the Moulin Rouge was the beating heart of Parisian nightlife—a place where velvet curtains, candlelit tables, and daring performances blurred the line between art and rebellion. Cabaret dancers ruled the stage with confidence and charm, embodying a new kind of freedom that captivated poets, painters, and patrons alike. . Rendered in a painterly, oil-canvas style, the scene feels like a memory suspended in time—an echo of music, applause, and the intoxicating spirit of Belle Époque Paris
1900s: The Poseidonion Grand Hotel
View of the seafront.
The Poseidonion Hotel was built by Sotirios Anargyros, descendant of a great 18th century Spetsiot shipping family. His branch of the family had fallen on hard times and he emigrated as a young man in 1868, when Spetses was declining as a maritime center. In 1899 he returned from the USA, now a wealthy tobacco tycoon and started to transform the island of his youth. He built an impressive mansion and met with the rich Athenian hunters who visited Spetses from August to October, to hunt the turtledoves and quail migrating between Africa and Europe.

An old photograph of a char-a-banc outing. People on the outing would have bought a photo for themselves and probably extras to give/send to friends and family. The chara has solid tyres so the photo probably dates to the first quarter of the 20c, unfortunately the photo has nothing on it to indicate where in the UK it might have been taken. There is a noticeable absence of 'fighting age men' in the vehicle, so it could have been taken during or just after WW1.
If there are any errors in the above description please let me know. Thanks.
