The Postcard
A postcard that was published by J. Phillips & Sons of Biggleswade and St. Neots.
The card was posted in Biggleswade using a ½d.stamp on Monday the 9th. September 1907. It was sent to:
Miss Burrows,
Holmbury,
Sundridge Avenue,
Chislehurst.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Dear Alice,
I am sending you a P.C.
of The Water Babies.
With love from all,
From your Loving Auntie,
E. R."
The Water-Babies, A Fairy Tale for a Land Baby
The Water-Babies, A Fairy Tale for a Land Baby is a children's novel by Charles Kingsley. Written in 1862–1863 as a serial for Macmillan's Magazine, it was first published in its entirety in 1863.
It was written as part satire in support of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species. The book was extremely popular in the United Kingdom, and was a mainstay of British children's literature for many decades, but eventually fell out of favour in America in part due to its prejudices against Irish, Jews, Catholics, and Americans.
-- The Water Babies' Story
The protagonist is Tom, a young chimney sweep, who falls into a river after encountering an upper-class girl named Ellie and being chased out of her house.
There he appears to drown, and is transformed into a "water-baby", as he is told by a caddisfly — an insect that sheds its skin — and begins his moral education.
The story is thematically concerned with Christian redemption, though Kingsley also uses the book to argue that England treats its poor badly, and to question child labour, among other themes.
Tom embarks on a series of adventures and lessons, and enjoys the community of other water-babies on Saint Brendan's Island once he proves himself a moral creature.
The major spiritual leaders in his new world are the fairies Mrs. Doasyouwouldbedoneby (a reference to the Golden Rule), Mrs. Bedonebyasyoudid, and Mother Carey.
Weekly, Tom is allowed the company of Ellie, who became a water-baby after he did.
Grimes, his old master, drowns as well, and in his final adventure, Tom travels to the end of the world in order to attempt to help the man where he is being punished for his misdeeds.
Tom helps Grimes to find repentance, and Grimes will be given a second chance if he can successfully perform a final penance.
By proving his willingness to do things he does not like, if they are the right things to do, Tom earns himself a return to human form, and becomes "a great man of science" who "can plan railways, and steam-engines, and electric telegraphs, and rifled guns, and so forth".
He and Ellie are united, although the book states (perhaps jokingly) that they never marry, claiming that in fairy tales, no one beneath the rank of prince and princess ever marries.
The book ends with the caveat that it is only a fairy tale, and the reader is to believe none of it, "even if it is true".
-- Interpretation of The Water Babies
In the style of Victorian-era novels, The Water-Babies is a didactic moral fable. In it, Kingsley expresses many of the common prejudices of that time period, and the book includes dismissive or insulting references to Americans, Jews, Blacks, and Catholics, particularly the Irish.
The book was intended in part as a satire, a tract against child labour, as well as a serious critique of the closed-minded approaches of many scientists of the day in their response to Charles Darwin's ideas on evolution, which Kingsley had been one of the first to praise.
Charles had been sent an advance review copy of On the Origin of Species, and wrote in his response of the 18th. November 1859 (four days before Darwin’s book was published):
"I have long since, from watching the crossing
of domesticated animals and plants, learnt to
disbelieve the dogma of the permanence of
species, and have gradually learnt to see that
it is just as noble a conception of Deity, to
believe that He created primal forms capable
of self development into all forms needful pro
tempore and pro loco, as to believe that He
required a fresh act of intervention to supply
the lacunas which He Himself had made."
In the book, for example, Kingsley argues that no person is qualified to say that something that they have never seen (like a human soul or a water baby) does not exist:
"How do you know that? Have you been there
to see? And if you had been there to see, and
had seen none, that would not prove that there
were none ... And no one has a right to say that
no water babies exist till they have seen no water
babies existing, which is quite a different thing,
mind, from not seeing water babies."
In his Origin of Species, Darwin mentions that, like many others at the time, he thought that changed habits produce an inherited effect, a concept now known as Lamarckism.
In The Water Babies, Kingsley tells of a group of humans called the Doasyoulikes who are allowed to do whatever they like and who gradually lose the power of speech, degenerate into gorillas and are shot by the African explorer du Chaillu.
Charles refers to the movement to end slavery in mentioning that one of the gorillas shot by du Chaillu:
"... remembered that his ancestors had once
been men, and tried to say, 'Am I Not A Man
And A Brother?', but had forgotten how to
use his tongue".
The Water Babies alludes to debates among biologists of its day, satirising what Kingsley had previously dubbed the "great hippocampus question" as the "great hippopotamus test".
At various times the text refers to "Sir Roderick Murchison, Professor (Richard) Owen, Professor (Thomas Henry) Huxley, (and) Mr. Darwin", and thus they become explicitly part of the story.
In the accompanying illustrations by Linley Sambourne, Huxley and Owen are caricatured, studying a captured water baby.
In 1892 Thomas Henry Huxley's five-year-old grandson Julian saw this engraving and wrote his grandfather a letter asking:
"Dear Grandpater – Have you seen a Waterbaby?
Did you put it in a bottle? Did it wonder if it could
get out? Could I see it some day?
– Your loving Julian."
Huxley wrote back a letter (later evoked by the New York Sun's "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus" in 1897):
"My dear Julian – I could never make sure about
that Water Baby.
I have seen Babies in water and Babies in bottles;
the Baby in the water was not in a bottle and the
Baby in the bottle was not in water.
My friend who wrote the story of the Water Baby
was a very kind man and very clever. Perhaps he
thought I could see as much in the water as he did.
There are some people who see a great deal and
some who see very little in the same things.
When you grow up I dare say you will be one of
the great-deal seers, and see things more wonderful
than the Water Babies where other folks can see
nothing.
-- Adaptations of The Water Babies
The book was adapted into an animated film The Water Babies in 1978 starring James Mason, Bernard Cribbins and Billie Whitelaw.
Though many of the main elements are there, the film's storyline differs substantially from the book's, with a new sub-plot involving Tom saving the Water-Babies from imprisonment by a kingdom of sharks.
The Water Babies was also adapted into a musical theatre version produced at the Garrick Theatre in London, in 1902.
The adaptation was described as a "fairy play", by Rutland Barrington, with music by Frederick Rosse, Albert Fox, and Alfred Cellier.
The book was also produced as a play by Jason Carr and Gary Yershon, mounted at the Chichester Festival Theatre in 2003, directed by Jeremy Sams, starring Louise Gold, Joe McGann, Katherine O'Shea, and Neil McDermott.
The story was also adapted into a radio series featuring Timothy West, Julia McKenzie, and Oliver Peace as Tom.
A 2013 update for BBC Radio 4 brought the tale to a newer age, with Tomi having been trafficked from Nigeria as a child labourer.
In 2014 it was adapted into a musical; a shortened version premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2014, with the full version being produced at the Playhouse Theatre, Cheltenham in 2015 by performing arts students of the University of Gloucestershire.
In 2019 the story was adapted into a folk opera performed at The Sydney Fringe Australia from a musical score and libretto composed by musician and librettist Freddie Hill in 1999.
Louis Ferdinand, Prince of Prussia
So what else happened on the day that Alice's auntie posted the card?
Well, the 9th. September 1907 marked the birth in Marmorpalais, Potsdam, German Empire of Louis Ferdinand, Prince of Prussia, and head of the House of Hohenzollern.
His full name was Louis Ferdinand Victor Eduard Adalbert Michael Hubertus Prinz von Preußen. Phew - let's hope he didn't have to fill in too many forms in his lifetime.
Louis Ferdinand, Prince of Prussia was a member of the princely House of Hohenzollern, which occupied the Prussian and German thrones until the abolition of those monarchies in 1918.
He married Grand Duchess Kira Kirillovna of Russia in 1938, and was noteworthy as a businessman and patron of the arts.
Louis Ferdinand was educated in Berlin and deviated from his family's tradition by not pursuing a military career. Instead, he travelled extensively and settled for some time in Detroit, where he befriended Henry Ford and became acquainted with Franklin D. Roosevelt, among others.
He held a great interest in engineering. Recalled from the United States upon his brother's renunciation of the throne, he became involved in the German aviation industry, but was barred by Hitler from taking any active part in German military activities.
Louis Ferdinand dissociated himself from the Nazis after this. He was not involved in the 20th. July plot against Hitler in 1944, but was interrogated by the Gestapo immediately afterwards, although he was soon released.
In interviews with C. L. Sulzberger for the book The Fall of Eagles, Louis Ferdinand expressed a deep sense of admiration for the informal bicycle monarchy and crowned republic style favored and used by the Dutch, Belgian, and Scandinavian royal families.
Praising how vehicles carrying the King or Queen would stop and wait at traffic lights, Louis Ferdinand stated that if the House of Hohenzollern were ever restored to the German throne during his lifetime, this same informality was a quality he fully intended to emulate.
Louis died on the 26th. September 1994 at the age of 86 in Bremen, Germany. He was laid to rest on the 1st. October 1994 in Hohenzollern Castle, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
Mehboob Khan
The day also marked the birth in Bilimora, Baroda State, British India of Mehboob Khan.
Mehboob was a pioneer producer-director of Indian cinema, best known for directing the social epic Mother India (1957), which won the Filmfare Awards for Best Film and Best Director, two National Film Awards, and was a nominee for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
He set up his production company – Mehboob Productions, and later a film studio – Mehboob Studios in Bandra, Mumbai in 1954.
He also created the dacoit film genre with Aurat (1940) and Mother India, and is also known for other blockbusters including the romantic drama Andaz (1949), the swashbuckling musical Aan (1951), and the melodrama Amar (1954).
Mehboob died of a heart attack on the 28th. May 1964 at the age of 56 in Bombay, Maharashtra, India. He was laid to rest in Badakabarastan, Marine Lines, Mumbai.
Today I received an e-mail from one of my clients that 3 of my pictures have been used to illustrate an article about the new interior of the Rabobank in the Witte Dame in Eindhoven.
I really like the pictures they have chosen, the one on the left has been featured earlier, in another magazine.
Published 12/11/1917
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images and have any stories and information to add please comment below.

Bologna, 2 settembre 2012 - Grande attesa per il concerto dei Green Day sul palco di I-Day Festival all’Arena Parco Nord di Bologna. Prima dei Green Day l’atmosfera della giornata sarà riscaldata da altre band internazionali: All time Low, Angels and Airwaves, Social Distortion, The Kooks.
I Green Day non hanno suonato perché Billy Joe, cantante della band, è stato ricoverato in ospedale a Bologna il giorno stesso del festival e anche i The Kooks hanno preferito non esibirsi.
Angels & Airwaves è un progetto alternative rock/emo partito da Tom DeLonge, chitarrista dei blink-182, con la collaborazione del chitarrista David Kennedy, del quale ha fatto parte anche l'ex-bassista dei The Distillers Ryan Sinn (sostituito in seguito da Matt Wachter, ex 30 Seconds to Mars) e fino all'ottobre 2011 Atom Willard, ex-batterista dei The Offspring, sostituito da Ilan Rubin che ha accompagnato i Nine Inch Nails nel loro ultimo tour. La band è conosciuta anche come AVA (nel quale la V sarebbe una A capovolta), che è anche il nome della figlia di Tom DeLonge.

I got published once more. I happened to go on Gourmet.com and my image was on the homepage. I should have taken a screen capture of it when I had the chance but didn't do it this morning and now it's gone from the main page. ;-( Well, the story featuring the picture is still up here:
www.gourmet.com/food/gourmetlive/2012/100312/welcome-fall...
I cut the center of the story since it was long. They were nice enough to give me a credit line. ;-)
I was tickled pink when I saw it. I took this last year with an older camera and lens. Yay, my 5 seconds of fame. LOL

Sono stati definiti, insieme a Nirvana e Pearl Jam, i veri pionieri del “sound di Seattle”, universalmente riconosciuto con l’epiteto “grunge”. La band, riunitasi nel 2010 in qualità di headliner sul palco del Lollapalooza Festival di Chicago, tornerà in Italia dopo un’assenza di 16 anni. SOUNDGARDEN eseguiranno i classici che li hanno resi famosi in tutto il mondo, determinando il loro posto nella storia del rock’n’roll. Il grande evento è previsto per il giorno 4 Giugno 2012 presso l’Arena Fiera di Milano, dove SOUNDGARDEN, cioè Chris Cornell, Kim Thayil, Ben Shepherd e Matt Cameron, si esibiranno in uno spettacolo esclusivo. Alcuni ospiti molto speciali, che annunceremo presto, saranno aggiunti alla giornata
I Soundgarden sono un gruppo rock statunitense, formato a Seattle nel 1984 dal cantante Chris Cornell, dal chitarrista Kim Thayil e dal bassista Hiro Yamamoto. La band si è riunita nel 2010 dopo essersi sciolta nel 1997, dopo aver pubblicato cinque album e cinque EP, e dopo aver venduto oltre 20 milioni di copie in tutto il mondo.
Sono stati una delle band caposcuola nella creazione del grunge, un genere di alternative rock che si sviluppò a Seattle. Dopo essere stati una delle tante band grunge affiliate alla casa discografica Sub Pop, sono diventati la prima tra loro a firmare per una major, la A&M Records. Fra i gruppi del filone grunge, sono stati, assieme agli Alice in Chains e ai Tad, quello che più si è avvicinato per sonorità all'heavy metal e all'hard rock di stampo classico, nonché tra i più evoluti quanto a preparazione tecnica.

The Postcard
A postally unused postcard published by The Oxford Times Co. Ltd. of Oxford. The card, which has a divided back, was printed in Saxony.
The Martyrs' Memorial
The Martyrs' Memorial is a stone monument positioned at the intersection of St Giles', Magdalen Street and Beaumont Street, just outside Balliol College, Oxford. It commemorates the 16th-century Oxford Martyrs.
The monument was built 300 years after the events of the English Reformation, and commemorates the Bishop of Worcester Hugh Latimer and Bishop of London Nicholas Ridley, who were burned nearby on the 16th. October 1555 after having been convicted of heresy because of their Protestant beliefs.
It also commemorates the former Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Cranmer, who was similarly executed on the 21st. March 1556 after having watched his colleagues' painful deaths while imprisoned in a nearby tower and the Vatican having permitted his degradation from holy orders.
The Rev. Charles Pourtales Golightly and other Anglican clergy raised the funds to erect the monument during the Victorian era.
Designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, the monument was completed in 1843 after two years' work, having replaced "a picturesque but tottering old house".
The Victorian Gothic memorial has been likened to the steeple of a cathedral, though it was consciously patterned on the Eleanor crosses erected by King Edward I between 1290 and 1294 to the memory of his wife, Queen Eleanor of Castile.
Henry Weekes sculpted the three statues of Cranmer, Latimer and Ridley. The monument is listed as Grade II*.
The actual execution site is close by in Broad Street, just outside the line of the old city walls. The site is marked by an iron cross sunk into the road.
The Memorial deteriorated during the 20th century, but underwent a full restoration in 2003, funded by Oxford City Council and the Oxford Preservation Trust.
Popular rumour is that in the past students have misled foreign tourists about the nature of the Memorial, and convinced them it was the spire of an underground church, which could be toured for a modest fee.
This would result in the tourists venturing down a nearby flight of stairs which actually led to the public toilets.
It's finally arrived, my first magazine with featured articles and much more. Been so excited to see which of my photos were included and I cannot be happier.
This was my first contracted shoot with a published magazine, and where better than my local city Bristol. It was a very cold day, and despite breaking one of my flash triggers it was a success. So stoked with this feature.

Who would have thought that an amazing mountain bike ride above Naramata in the Okanagan would have led to this? The largest photo on page 39 (right page, square photo) of the newly published Penticton & Wine Country 2009 Visitor's Guide is of a friend enjoying the last of a delicious gewerztraminer from Hillside winery.
