Check out my book of detachable acquaintance cards: May I See You Home?: 19th-Century Pickups for 21st-Century Suitors, by Alan Mays.
This is an acquaintance card—also called an escort, invitation, or flirtation card—that dates to the nineteenth century. For another card with the same illustration but a different text, see Shall I Be the Proud Bird Who Escorts You Home Tonight?
Miss ________
Shall I be the happy one who wins your favor, or the disconsolate young man in the picture at the right, this evening?

The Guild Church of St Margaret of Pattens: The dedication is to Margaret of Antioch
Situated in Rood Lane, Eastcheap, London, EC3M 1HS. St Margaret’s is Church of England and was first recorded in 1067, a year after ‘The Battle of Hastings’. Originally built in wood, it was rebuilt in stone at some undetermined date. It was neglected and fell into disrepair and was demolished in 1530 but by 1538 it was rebuilt.
Unfortunately it was destroyed in the great fire of London in 1666 and it wasn’t until 1687 that it was rebuilt but it was worth the wait as Sir Christopher Wren was the architect. The exterior is notable for the spire which is 200ft tall. It was Wren’s third highest and the only one that he designed in the ‘Medieval Style’. The interior of the church is a basic rectangle but it does have some very unusual furnishings. It possesses the only canopied pews in London, they are at the back of the church close to the entrance. These were intended for the churchwardens. There is also a punishment box carved with a head of the devil, this is where wrongdoers would sit during the mass.
It was one of the few churches that escaped damage in ‘The Blitz’. In 1954 it ceased to be a parish church and became one of the Guild church. There is no Sunday service but there are regular week-day services.
The name ‘patten’ derives from wooden-soled overshoes that were worn to prevent people from ruining their own footware because of the poor state of the roads (mud, horse manure and other excrement tipped from the building, there was no sewerage facilities as we have today). There is a small museum inside the church, with display cases showing the history and products of the Pattenmakers and the Basketmakers. Since the 15th century the Worshipful Company of Pattenmakers have been associated with St. Margaret’s and there are panels on the south wall that show past masters. The Worshipful Company of Basketmakers also have close links to St. Margaret’s and there are similar panels to commemorate their past masters.
Finally, in one corner of the church is a closed cabinet where there is written ‘For God, King & Country’ and there is also a dedication on the bottom of the cabinet. Open the doors and inside are memorial plaques to the submariners of a ‘K4’ class submarine that went down in a tragic accident of the coast of Fife in September 1918 with the loss of 105 men. There are also 12 other WWI casualties not connected to the sinking that also appear on the memorial. One of my photographs shows the whole story.
This is the third and final posting.
Not my best shot of Lord Patten, Chancellor of the University of Oxford, but the best I got at this years Encaenia back in June.
You can find more Encaenia shots in my Oxford People set : www.flickr.com/photos/darrellg/albums/72157632893309609
From Wikipedia : "The most famous Encaenia is the ceremony at the University of Oxford, which usually takes place on the Wednesday of the ninth week of Trinity Term (i.e. a Wednesday in the latter part of June). Preceding the ceremony is a procession of some of the participants to the Sheldonian Theatre, inside which the main event takes place. Those who take part in the procession are the Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor, and Pro-Vice-Chancellors, the Heads of Houses (i.e. the university's colleges, societies, and halls), the four Heads of Division (i.e. the divisions of Humanities, Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences, Medical Sciences, and Social Sciences), holders of Higher Doctorates (i.e. those in Divinity, Civil Law, Medicine, Letters, Science, and Music), the Proctors, the Assessor, the Public Orator, the Professor of Poetry, and the Registrar, together with the outgoing President of the Oxford University Student Union, and the Presidents of the Junior and Middle Common Rooms of the colleges to which the Proctors and the Assessor belong.
The Encaenia is depicted in the film Shadowlands and in the Morse episode "Twilight of the Gods", and is depicted in the Jeffrey Archer novel, Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less."

London Places and how they got their name #11. St Margaret Pattens Church, City of London.
Probably named after the medieval overshoes called Pattens . In the Middle ages Londons were very muddy and full of effluent hence the Pattens used to keep clothing/shoes clean. Drawn with Platinum 3776 Carbon Black some Diamine Blue and Macassar brown for Pattens sketch. See sketch of Patterns here www.flickr.com/photos/blinkoart/43198165311/in/dateposted/

From our cycle camping trip in Maine in early September, the early morning sun tries to break through the mist that hangs over the water on Patten Pond.
A sculpture of a young Mozart in Parade Gardens, Bath, Somerset.
The sculpture was commissioned by the City of Bath under the terms of the Purnell Trust to copy the huge Salzsburg statue but eventually scaled down. The sculptor was David Backhouse and unveiled in 1991. Mrs Purnell made a death-bed wish that the statue would commemmorate her music loving son. She died three months before coming to live in Bath. Opening ceremony was attended by Yehudi Menuin (Trustee of Festival) and MP Chris Patten.
The Bath Mozartfest is an annual classical music festival founded in 1991 by a generous bequest from a local resident. It now regularly attracts top international artists to perform the works of W A Mozart and related composers to capacity audiences. It is renowned for excellence and quality and receives the highest critical acclaim from both local and national media. Orchestral, choral and chamber concerts are performed in the Assembly Rooms, Guildhall, Bath Abbey and the Forum.
The Parade Gardens were originally an orchard belonging to the Abbey, the Parade Gardens were first named ‘St James’ Triangle’ when they became the formally designed gardens by architect John Wood the Elder in 1737. The area was a place for the society of Bath to promenade after a visit to the nearby Harrison’s Assembly Rooms, which overlooked the Gardens and riverside path known as ‘Harrison’s Walk’. The Harrison's Assembly building was destroyed by fire in 1820, and the Assembly Rooms we know today were built on the northern slopes of the city near to the Kings Circus.
The Parade Gardens today are still laid out in much the same style as they were in Georgian times. John Wood, famous for his architectural works in Bath such as The Royal Crescent and Queen Square, also designed the houses adjacent to the Parade Gardens in North Parade. Famous residents included Admiral Lord Nelson, William Wilberforce and poet William Wordsworth.
Many commemorative plaques and statues can be seen in the Parade Gardens and include the original ‘Angel of Peace’ sculpted by Trent, dedicated to Edward VII’s acts of diplomacy in Europe. Copies of this statue can be found in parks and gardens all over the UK. Tuscan style columns are incorporated into the surrounding colonnades, salvaged at the end of the 1800's from a house in the nearby Orange Grove, occupied by the Prince of Orange in 1734. The Orrery, a form of sundial was presented to the city and erected on the dolphin pedestal in 1916. Partially hidden treasures include remains of the foundations of the medieval Monks Mill and until recently, an overgrown area covering a Victorian Pets Cemetery. Work was carried out over the winter of 2009/10 to clear and restore the Pets Cemetery area to its former glory.
The riverside path gives a truly spectacular viewing point of the famous Pulteney Bridge - a Palladian masterpiece c1760 designed by architect Robert Adam. Down river is the elegant North Parade Bridge, actually an iron bridge built in 1836, then encased in Bath stone a century later.

Roshka DeWulf & Patten, Phoenix, AZ, Law firm. For Super Lawyers magazine
See the 2008 version of this shot: Roshka DeWulf & Patten 2008
This shot took about 3 hours to set up (light, with one assistant thanks Adam) and shoot. Plus I scouted the location to work out any issues I might face -- I try and scout all my locations if possible.
Camera view: East North East (The sun is lighting the south side of the building in the background)
Same lighting technique used on this group shot: www.flickr.com/photos/cooganphoto/437402233/
Lighting: Dyna-lites
Main light on camera right - 4x6' Chimera. (2) Dyna-lite heads, (1) with a 2000 watt pack, (1) with a 1000 watt pack. I silked off the right side of the softbox to reduce the amount of light coming out of the right side to keep the exposure across the group as even as possible from left to right, so the silk worked great.
Additional lighting:
(1) 2000 ws Dyna-lite pack outside to create shadow on wood wall from window structure.
(1) bare head behind group for hairlight
(1) bare light outside window for edge light
(3) heads aimed into concrete ceiling outside (If this was not lit it would have gone black)
(1) head into marble camera left to soften shadow
Hair light: (1) light on boom arm in small Chimera

Surbiton Station 1937 - The Scottish architect James Robb Scott, (1882 – 1965) designed a string of railways stations – from Bishopstone to Bromley North, Horsham to Hastings, Ramsgate to Richmond – but his Art Deco masterpiece was Surbiton Station, in the heart of London's commuterland.
The Secret Garden will never age;
The tangled undergrowth remains as fresh
As when the author put down her pen.
Its mysteries are as poignant now as then.
Though Time’s a thief it cannot thieve
On the track the Railway Children wait;
Alice still goes back and forth through the glass;
In Tom’s Midnight Garden Time unfurls,
And children still discover secret worlds.
At the Gates of Dawn Pan plays his pipes;
Mole and Ratty still float in awe downstream.
The weasels watch, hidden in the grass.
None cares how quickly human years pass.
Though Time’s a thief it cannot thieve
One page from the world of make-believe.
One of the highlights of the WPT stop in South Florida is the Beach Volleyball match with the Royal Flush Girls, Tony Dunst, Vince Van Patten, Marianela and various pro volunteers. I know it's asking a lot, but take a look at the bikini clad fun!
