Found a great shot for the photo of the day and got to harass a coworker in the process!

The Postcard
A National Series postcard which was posted in Worcester on Sunday the 15th. January 1911 to:
Miss James,
232, Bristol Road,
Edgbaston,
Birmingham
The message on the other side of the card was as follows:
"Dearest thanks for your
letter this morning.
Sorry you are not very
well. I am well myself.
Love from all at home.
It is lovely here and
frosty too.
Fondest love,
Yours Jack.
p.s. Had a letter from
Nell this morning I will
send it on to you".
The Cutting Off of a Queue
So what else happened on the day that Jack posted the card?
Well, on the 15th. January 1911, Wu Tingfang addressed a crowd of 40,000 at the Zhang Gardens in Shanghai, and announced that he had cut off the queue which he had worn in his hair as a sign of deference to the Qing dynasty.
He then urged the crowd to follow suit. At least 1,000 did so, and others followed suit as publicity spread.
Wu Tingfang (30th. July 1842 – 23rd. June 1922) was a Chinese diplomat and politician who served as Minister of Foreign Affairs, and briefly as Acting Premier during the early years of the Republic of China.
