This machine was built by the Hampshire Aeroplane Club at Eastleigh, Southampton for the film, Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines (1965). In the film the aircraft comes to grief in a railway tunnel in France. In reality this sequence was filmed close to Old Warden! It is powered by an upright 4 cylinder inline Cirrus Hermes engine which is of a similar configuration to the original’s 35hp Green.
The Shuttleworth Collection was closely involved with the making of the film and as this reproduction is largely true to the original, of considerable technical interest and an impressive flyer, the Trustees decided in 1966 that it was worth acquiring. Like other Collection aircraft of its era it is flown sedately and only in calm weather. There is an original, earlier type, Roe Triplane in the Science Museum.

Princess May was a steamship built in 1888 which was operated under a number of different names and owners. The ship is best known for having been involved in a grounding in 1910 which left the ship jutting completely out of the water, which became the subject of a famous shipwreck photograph.
In 1901, the newly formed Canadian Pacific Railway Coast Service, operating in British Columbia under superintendent James W. Troup, wanted a steamship to meet the high demand for traffic on the route to southeastern Alaska, but did not want to wait for a year or more to build a new ship. Cass, by then operating under the name Hating (or Ha-Ting), was available. The Coast Service purchased Hating, and in May, 1901, under the command of Capt. A.O. Cooper, brought it across the Pacific to the west coast of Canada. Princess May was the first ship acquired by then-newly formed Canadian Pacific Railway Coast Service.
Beginning on 27 May 1901, Princess May was placed on the 800-mile (1,300 km) route from Vancouver, British Columbia along the British Columbia coast to Skagway, Alaska, running on alternate weeks with Islander. At this time, the demand for fast travel to Skagway was high, and steamships, including Princess May competed with each other to see which could first reach the port.
In 1906 the superstructure was rebuilt and the passenger accommodations were enlarged and improved. In 1907, May ran in alternate weeks with the newly completed Princess Royal. These ships served the many small mining, fishing and lumber settlements along the coast.
28.4 litres and built for a land speed record attempt. (two were built)
Known as 'The Beast of Turin'

This is the lens of a vintage camera "No 3 AUTOGRAPHIC KODAK MODEL G". There are 2 dates engraved, one is 1910 (in the focused area) and the other is 1913, so it must be from around that time.
I inheritet it from my father-in-law who was a photo enthusiast.
Top-left in the out-of-focus area is the aperture-selection (goes from f/7.7 up to f/45 with 130mm for kind of a large format).
You can see a bigger photo of this camera here:
This shot was taken with a Minolta ROKKOR 100mm Bellows @ f/8 adapted to a Sony NEX-5. This macro-lens dates from the 1970s. Used off-camera flash for the light.
Arnold Schönberg (Vienna 1874 - 1951 Los Angeles)

Wien Museum, currently Leopold Museum at the exhibition "VIENNA 1900. Birth of Modernism"
Arnold Schönberg was, among other things, a composer and a painter.
As a composer and music theorist, he was the leading figure of the Second Viennese School, in which, after a phase of free atonality (from 1908), he developed the so-called twelve-tone technique in the early 1920s.
The singer Helene Nahowski (Vienna 1885 - 1976 Vienna) was the biological daughter of Emperor Franz Joseph, with whom her mother had had a long-standing relationship. In 1911 she married the composer Alban Berg, a student of Arnold Schönberg.

Have a good weekend!
Rambler is an automobile brand name that was first used by the Thomas B. Jeffery Company between 1900 and 1914.
Charles W. Nash bought Jeffery in 1916, and Nash Motors reintroduced the name to the automobile marketplace from 1950 through 1954. The "Rambler" trademark registration for use on automobiles and parts was issued on 9 March 1954 for Nash-Kelvinator.
Nash merged with the Hudson Motor Car Company to form American Motors Corporation (AMC) in 1954. The Rambler line of cars continued through the 1969 model year in the United States and 1983 in international markets.
Rambler cars were often nicknamed the "Kenosha Cadillac" after the original location and their most significant place of manufacture in the city of Kenosha, Wisconsin.
The first use of the name Rambler for an American-made automobile dates to 1897 when Thomas B. Jeffery of Chicago, Illinois, builder of the Rambler bicycle, constructed his prototype automobile.
After receiving positive reviews at the 1899 Chicago International Exhibition & Tournament and the first National Automobile Show in New York City, Jeffery entered the automobile business. Following the sudden death of his Rambler partner, R. Philip Gormully, Jeffery sold their bicycle business to the American Bicycle Company, but retained rights to the Rambler name. In 1900, he bought the old Sterling Bicycle Co. factory in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and set up shop.
Thomas Jeffery and his son Charles experimented with such early technical innovations as a steering wheel (as opposed to a tiller), left-hand driving and the engine placement under a hood instead of under the seat, but they was decided that such features were too advanced for the motoring public of the day. The first Ramblers were tiller-steered, had right-hand drive, and the single-cylinder engine was positioned under the seat. Rambler innovated various design features and was the first to equip cars with a spare wheel-and-tire assembly. This allowed the driver, when experiencing a flat tire, to exchange the spare wheel and tire for the flat one, rather than patching.
Jeffery started commercially mass-producing automobiles in 1902. By the end of the year the company had produced 1,500 motor cars, priced at US$750 (equivalent to $27,257 in 2024), one-sixth of all cars that were manufactured in the U.S. during that year. The Thomas B. Jeffery Company was the second largest auto manufacturer at that time, behind Oldsmobile.
In 1904, Jeffery built 2,342 Ramblers. Higher-powered two-cylinder versions with front-mounted engines and steering wheels were now available. In 1905, the single-cylinder was discontinued, and three larger two-cylinder models priced from $1,200 to $3,000 were offered (equivalent to between US$42,000 and $105,000 in 2024). A Rambler four-cylinder was introduced in 1906.
New employee Edward S, Jordan, who would later become Jeffery's secretary and general manager, provided advertising copy such as "The Right Car at the Right Price", “June Time Is Rambler Time”, and other similarly evocative phrases. By 1906, Rambler was considered an industry leader, with one of the best-equipped automobile factories. Thomas Jeffery was not interested in increasing mass production, however, and settled into a pattern of producing 2,500 Ramblers a year.
In 1910, all Ramblers were now four-cylinder medium-priced cars. While on vacation in 1910, Thomas B. Jeffery died of a heart attack and his son Charles took over the newly incorporated Thomas B. Jeffery Company. Charles increased annual production by about 500 cars and, in 1912, introduced new Ned Jordan model names such as Cross Country, Country Club, Knickerbocker, and Valkyrie. For 1913 the last Rambler branded models were the Cross Country roadster and touring car, an Inside Drive coupe and the Gotham Limousine, priced from US$1,650 to $2,750 (equivalent to between US$52,000 and $87,000 in 2024).
In 1914, Charles T. Jeffery, Thomas B. Jeffery's son, replaced the Rambler brand name with Jeffery in honor of his now-deceased father.
In 1916, the Thomas B. Jeffery Company was purchased by Charles W. Nash and became Nash Motors Company in 1917. The Jeffery brand name was dropped at the time of the sale. The manufacture of Nash-branded automobiles commenced. In 1937, the concern became the Nash-Kelvinator Corporation through a merger with the major appliance maker.
La crue de la Seine de 1910, souvent qualifiée de crue centennale, est le plus important débordement connu de la Seine après celui de 1658.
La iglesia de San Manuel y San Benito, de Madrid (España), está situada en la calle de Alcalá, 83, en frente del Parque del Retiro y fue construida entre 1902 y 1910. La obra del arquitecto Fernando Arbós y Tremanti se destinó como residencia e iglesia para los Padres Agustinos. Los mecenas de esta iniciativa fueron el empresario catalán Manuel Caviggioli y su esposa Benita Maurici, que donaron el terreno para este fin y de los que la iglesia toma su advocación.
Este edificio es sin duda el mejor ejemplo de la arquitectura neobizantina madrileña, junto con el Panteón de Hombres Ilustres, que también fue realizado por el propio Arbós. La iglesia de San Manuel y San Benito tiene una planta centralizada de cruz griega, con una gran cúpula sobre pechinas donde se representan simbólicamente los cuatro evangelistas. En su interior destaca una capilla lateral “de la Epístola”, con un altar de mármol blanco en el centro y los dos sepulcros del matrimonio catalán en los lados. De su fachada, destaca la torre, erigida al modo de los campaniles italianos. La restauración en el último tercio del siglo XX, de la Iglesia de San Manuel y San Benito, corrió a cargo del arquitecto José Antonio Arenillas.

Historique
Jean-Baptiste Saint, qui dirige l'ensemble des usines Saint Frères de la Somme entre 1863 et 1880, habite avec sa famille la demeure dite Château rouge, qui appartenait à l'entreprise et servait de logement patronal. Il envisage toutefois de faire construire à Flixecourt une demeure plus conforme à son statut social, pour laquelle l'architecte amiénois Paul Delefortrie donne des projets en 1878, qui ne seront pas menés à bien.
Après la mort de l'industriel en 1880, sa veuve, née Stéphanie Zambaux, acquiert de vastes terrains en bordure de la route de L’Étoile. A partir de 1882, elle y fait construire une grande demeure de style éclectique, pour laquelle Delefortrie donne plusieurs projets, dont le plus ample sera le parti choisi, pour un coût de construction estimé à plus de 800 000 francs. Le gros œuvre est achevé en 1884, et la décoration intérieure, particulièrement raffinée, en 1886, date que porte la grille du portail d'entrée. L'identité des maîtres d'oeuvre de ce décor n'est pas connue, mais l'on peut peut-être avancer les noms du sculpteur Alexandre Hesse ou du menuisier Labbé, collaborateurs habituels de l'agence Delefortrie, qui ont notamment travaillé au château d'Havernas entre 1875 et 1882. Les verrières de certaines pièces (grande salle à manger, billard, salle de bains) sont signés du peintre-verrier Joseph Vantillard. Le parc paysager, quant à lui, est attribué par tradition orale au célèbre ingénieur et créateur de jardins parisien Jean-Charles Alphand.
Pierre Saint, le fils de Jean-Baptiste et Stéphanie Saint, qui dirige les usines de la Somme à la suite de son père, occupe le château de 1900 à sa mort, en 1943. Si en 1909, il évoque son souhait de redessiner le parc "afin que le château proprement dit n'écrase pas autant la propriété", il abandonne finalement cette idée de jardin à la Française, pour se concentrer sur l'extension du logis en 1910, et surtout sur l'agrandissement considérable du domaine, qui atteint une superficie de 1,70 ha en 1912, entièrement boisée.
La propriété appartient aujourd'hui à une branche collatérale de la famille.
On the way home from coastal BC in September, I stopped at one of my favourite provincial parks, Manning. This was where did some of my earliest subalpine hiking and backpacking, in 1975. It has always been a good location for mule deer, grouse, Clark's nutcrackers, Canada jays, chipmunks, frogs, owls, marmots, pikas, and other wildlife, and this time the pikas did not disappoint. The day was dull, with heavy clouds that blotted out the views, so very few people were present. I still had a long road ahead of me, with friends to meet in Banff the next day, so I could only spare an hour and a half in the meadows, but I was happy to come home with this, shot from my rolling red Toyota car blind.

The three-masted French steel barque Vincennes (84.6 m x 12.3 m) in full sail in Australian waters. My restoration and colorization of Allan C. Green´s image in the Victoria State Library archive. No date is given, but my estimate is that Green took this photo in ab. 1910.
The Vincennes was built in 1900 by Chant. Nantais de Construction Maritime for Nantes based Soc. Anonyme des Longs Courriers Français. She ran aground on Mavis Beach (Sydney) in 1906, but was refloated. Broken up in 1926.
Please don’t touch the cars, especially this one of a kind 1910 Zimmerman Runabout. It is powered by a two-cylinder, horizontally opposed, 142 cubic inch, air cooled engine that produces 12 horsepower.
This very original Zimmerman runabout was first owned by John Zimmerman, who became company president and later was purchasing agent for the Auburn Automobile Company. It is an experimental car and is the only known Zimmerman that was produced with a shaft drive. In 1910 a new Zimmerman cost $840.
I photographed this rare automobile several times over the years at the Auburn, Cord, Duesenberg Museum in Auburn, Indiana. This particular photo was taken during a visit in 2014.
National Trust Properties
Cragside, Rothbury, Northumberland
Cragside was the dream of the Victorian entrepreneur, William Armstrong. Originally trained as a solicitor, was a keen amateur scientist who then conducted experiments in electricity and hydraulics. In 1847 he left the law to set up his own company W. G. Armstrong & Co. just outside Newcastle. During the 1850’s he made his fortune supplying arms to the British Army. He was knighted in 1859.
The original house was a small shooting lodge which was built between 1862-64. In 1869 Armstrong employed the services of architect Richard Norman Shaw to enlarge Cragside, firstly in 1869 and again in 1882. Between these years the house blossomed, not only with the breath-taking architecture but the house was filled with wonderful works of art. Both of the Armstrong’s were great patrons to the Arts.
However after Armstrong’s death in 1900, Cragside ran into difficulty and in 1910 the best of the art was sold off. Eventually with heavy death duties in the 1970’s the family sold up and the National Trust in 1977. Cragside is a Grade I listed building and was opened to the public in 1979.
There is much to see both inside the house and the garden to enjoy, it is well worth a visit.
When I joined Flickr, it was so I could enter a photographic competition. I never imagined, fifteen years later that I would have so many followers, have shared so many images, or have made some of the best friends I have (even ones whom I have never physically met but have connected with emotionally and spiritually). Thanks to Flickr, and the exposure it has given my work, my images have appeared in books, journals and magazines around the world, I appear on numerous websites, and I have three postage stamps all featuring my images. The world of social media can be ruthless, yet here on Flickr, I have found a kind, friendly and receptive community of like minded people ready to embrace other members. I have much to be grateful about, thanks to Flickr.
So, happy twentieth birthday, Flickr! Thank you for everything you are, and all that you do. I am paying tribute to this wonderful platform by using the Flickr livery of bright blue and hot pink in a still life using my latest obsession, cotton spools.
When it was my birthday a few months ago, a very dear friend who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions. She also gave me three follow up tins of similar delightful gifts for Christmas.
Amongst the gifts was a pretty ribbon of vibrant blue and white embroidered daisies, some blue, magenta and pink crocheted daisies from Poland, some Estonian hand dyed lace and some tiny segments of crochet, all of which I have set up on the back terrace against one of my antique embroidered Art Deco doilies from the 1930s, and accessorised with some peacock blue silver and enamel buttons from Birmingham, hallmarked 1910, some tiny Japanese cloisonné vest buttons from the 1880s, some pink rose buttons from the 1960s, a Victorian spool of W. and J. Knox peacock blue linen thread and a spool of Dewhurst's Sylko Rose Pink cotton which dates from between 1938 and 1954.
W. and J. Knox Ltd was first established over two centuries ago when the Knox family set up a small textile mill in Kilbirnie to spin the locally-grown flax fibre and to manufacture linen thread. It was first registered as a company in 1778 then subsequently named W. and J. Knox in the 1800s by the sons of the founder. The Knox family was involved with the company for the first 200 years, with ownership passing through the generations, and agents being set up all over the world. Hearsay places an agent in New Zealand only ten years after Captain Cook’s discovery, and written records show trade agreements in place in the early 1800s in Canada. Cosalt plc purchased the company from Linndustries in the 1970s, with ownership passing to the local management team in 2004, following an MBO. Two centuries after opening, Knox is still based in the same Ayrshire town, and is now owned by the local management team, following an MBO from Cosalt plc in 2004.
Belle Vue Mill, commonly known as Dewhurst’s, was built by Thomas Dewhurst in 1828. It opened in 1829 as John Dewhurst & Sons and was one of Skipton’s largest spinning and weaving mills. The mill’s position next to the Leeds Liverpool Canal meant that raw cotton could be shipped in by boats from Liverpool. Finished goods would then be sent back the same way ready for distribution. Coal to power the machine’s steam engines was also delivered by barge. In 1897 Dewhurst’s was bought by the English Sewing Cotton Co. It continued to produce Sylko, one of the mill’s most famous products. It was produced in over 500 colours and sold throughout the world. Sylko cottons are still available at haberdashers today.
