"You asked for a greener borough..." but did you vote for it? Either way, we are now going to hector you accordingly. Wood Green, Haringey, London
Another example of the clutter of a bamboo forest. Their are many kinds of bamboo all over the world. Bamboo is a grass species. Bamboo lives 5 to 8 years depending on the climate and soil and can grow up to 24'' inches in one day. Their are many uses of bamboo all over the world, from food to construction material. Asia and India's usage of bamboo is equally comparable to our use of wood. It is a very resourceful commodity.
I like the shape of this bouquet. Very 3-D. If loosestrife isn't an option we could use white lilacs which I adore. The creamy and blush color palette would work nicely with my dress.

This is a very rare example of a residential Glasgow building with tiling on the exterior - something more commonly associated with the Mediterranean countries.

In this part of the project, I reviewed information about Gestalt Principles in design and identified visual examples of them. This image is an example of symmetry because it displays the same shapes on each side. If a vertical line was placed it the center and the image was folded along that line, everything would match up.

This unidentified man's vignette was preserved by the Sharman family of Norfolk and bought in April 2024 from an eBay trader in Wymondham. The year 1861 is consistent with a similar example pictured in the Dating Guide compiled by Robert Pols from Claire Dulanty's data: Type 2, which was still being used in September 1863. John Robert Sawyer then moved to a new studio at 46 London Street (Norfolk Chronicle 12 & 19 September front pages).
No negative number is apparent but it would almost certainly be below 4000, judging from the table of negatives published by J. R. Sawyer in 1866. His front-page advertisement of the Drawing Room Portrait Gallery in the Norwich Mercury on 25 June 1862 specifies the quantities of cartes de visite printed and sent out, demonstrating the rise of cartomania during the first five months of that year (perhaps commensurate with a seasonal improvement in the weather and the hours of daylight):
January: 1,300*
February: 1,600
March: 1,886
April: 2,106
May: 2,212
* "In Sawyer's Drawing-room Portrait Gallery there were taken, from the 4th of January to the 31st January, 137 Negatives, the orders from which amounted to 1200 Portraits." (Norfolk Chronicle 8 February 1862 p. 8)
Surgical instrument manufacturer, cutler and electro-plater J. R. Sawyer was at 42 London Street as early as 1853 (Norfolk News 16 April p. 2). In 1867 he referred to his 14 years' experience in connection with the continuing popularity of cartes de visite (Norfolk News 20 April p. 4).
Advertisements in 1854 (e.g. Norfolk Chronicle 4 November p. 1) locate his studio opposite a tobacconist named Miller — probably Amelia, who was then at 5 London Street (White's 1854 Norfolk gazetteer p. 257). His instruments, cutlery and spectacles are all mentioned in the Norfolk Chronicle on 8 October 1853 (p. 3) along with recent improvements in photography:
"J. R. SAWYER has fitted up a Gallery for the production of faithful & artistic PORTRAITS on a new principle, avoiding altogether the harsh and unpleasing effects of the daguerreotype process. The sitter being placed in a diffused natural light, that painful expression of feature which too often characterises the old process, is entirely avoided, the face falls into its habitual appearance, and the result is a striking and expressive likeness."
The itinerant daguerreotypist Oliver François Xavier Sarony brought his wagons to Norwich in 1856 and also rented a showroom at 42 London Street, as noted by Robert Pols (Sarony versus Sawyer) and by Michael Shingfield (Norwich Victorian Photographers, 2017, p. 107) whose book devotes two pages to Oliver Sarony and several more to John Sawyer and his successors.
