James Powell & Sons, situated on the site of the former Whitefriars monastery, between the Thames and Fleet Street, was producing mainly flint glass when it was bought in 1834 by James Powell, a London wine merchant. On his death the firm passed to his three sons Arthur, Nathaniel and James Cotton Powell, who in 1844 established a stained glass department. The latter benefitted from the scientific researches of Charles Winston, a lawyer by profession, who had dedicated himself to the study of medieval stained glass. It had made him aware of the shortcomings of the glass available to contemporary artists, this being often thin and garish in colour. In 1847 he encouraged experiments aimed at rediscovering the chemical components of medieval glass and persuaded the firm of James Powell & Sons to produce 'antique' glass to his recipes. It was mainly due to this collaboration that the firm was to become one of the most important studios and glass manufacturers of the Victorian period.

Edited Library of Congress photograph of the Imperial German Navy battleship SMS Kaiser c1915. In this image, the Kaiser is firing a salute to the Kaiser. Given what the Kaiser did to Germany, I'm surprised they weren't firing a salute at the Kaiser.
In the early days of logging on the Mohawk, while we have no records of women employed as loggers (lumberjills), it was common for family members, girlfriends, etc, to visit the woods where the men were working and many times posed for pictures.
This particular picture comes from the McCornack collection.
In it we see two well dressed young ladies posing with the falling axes in the undercut. They are standing on springboards, which was a way for loggers to cut the stump above the swell and pitch of the base as well as get their feet out of the entangling underbrush. Leaning against the tree, is a fall saw. This type of saw is commonly called a "misery whip".
George McCornack was a well documented and oft photographed faller at Mabel. In October 1913, he married Rena Riggs. After reviewing several photos containing Rena, I _think_ the girl on the right might be Rena. She would have been 16 in 1912. The other girl I could not find a match for. The clothing the girls are wearing is very similar to uniforms worn by girls basketball teams at Marcola High School and Wendling High School. So this may have been the "play" dress style of the day.
If you can positively identify either girl in the photo, please comment.

Neo-medieval window in the north transept at Salle, celebrating historical personages associated with the church, and executed in a very conscious attempt to mimic the 15th century style of original glass here by Herbert Bryans c1912.

SS Peter & Paul at Salle is church I've known about for years, having read the words of many who have waxed lyrical about this grand medieval edifice standing proud in near splendid isolation. The testimonies invariably praise this church as one of the highlights of Norfolk, if not one of the finest parish churches in the entire country; in my mind it thus had much to live up to now that I was finally to see it for myself.
Salle church lives up to all these superlatives and more, it is a magnificent building, first sight of it being something like finding a cathedral in the middle of a rural field! It is late medieval at its best, all of a piece 15th century architecture with many original furnishings to match. My initial impression of the interior was of a large, almost barn-like space filled with antique furniture, a place where the more one looks the more interest one finds in every corner, this being a church that requires very thorough exploration to see all it has to offer.
I fell in love with this church and could easily have spent much longer here (though thankfully didn't as this would have compromised seeing the other gems our generous hosts also had planned for us for the rest of the day!). Salle is a churchcrawler's dream and shouldn't be missed, it is happily normally open and welcoming to visitors.

NOTE the Entrance on 12th Street in the upper Left corner.
This grandiose entrance was added to the building c1912 when it was the "National Exchange Bank".
For whatever reason that great entrance was removed and replaced with the entrance which I think you see on this building today.

National Portrait Gallery, London.
Lady Ottoline Morrell (born Ottoline Cavendish-Bentinck 1873-1938) was an aristocrat and Society hostess. She hosted literary and political gatherings at her homes in Bedford Square in Bloomsbury and at Garsington Manor in Oxfordshire. Morrell's social gatherings provided opportunities for Bloomsbury writers and artists to discuss ideas and meet patrons.
Morrell was a highly valued friend of the Bloomsbury Group. During the First World War she invited conscientious objectors such as Duncan Grant, Clive Bell and Lytton Strachey to take refuge at Garsington.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The extraordinary writers, artists and thinkers of the Bloomsbury Group had a profound effect on British art and literature. Prolific, passionate and hugely gifted, their story is just as compelling as the remarkable work they created.
This major exhibition, in partnership with York Museums Trust and the National Portrait Gallery, chronicles the lives, loves and work of the group during the first half of the 20th century. As well as celebrating the group’s key figures, including writer and feminist pioneer Virginia Woolf and her sister, painter Vanessa Bell, the displays shine a spotlight on their often overlooked peers and reflect on the group’s place in queer art history.
Displays feature paintings, sculpture, drawings and photographs by Bell and her contemporaries, including Dora Carrington, Roger Fry, Duncan Grant, Paul Nash, Gwen Raverat and Ray Strachey, alongside new work by contemporary artist, Sahara Longe, responding to the Bloomsbury artists.
Foundation stone 15 Mar 1869 by Rev K B Webb, opened 16 May 1869, consecrated Jul 1873, closed when new church built 1912, demolished by 1928. [Photo from State Library of SA: B 49702 (c1912)]
“Rev. K. B. Webb, Missionary Chaplain to the Bishop of Adelaide, arrived at Streaky Bay by the mail on March 2, and preached. . . March 15, will be a memorable day in the Township of Flinders, as then the foundation-stone of the first building devoted to the worship of God in this scattered district was formally inserted in the walls of the nearly completed edifice. The ceremony of inserting the stone was performed by the Rev. Mr. Webb, . . dedicated to St. Augustine Bishop.” [Register 1 Apr 1869]
“The church is a substantial edifice of stone, with iron roof, in the pointed Gothic style of architecture. It is small and plain, to suit the numbers, requirements, and means of the place, but neat and comfortable.” [Evening Journal 27 May 1869]
“The Bishop of Adelaide, we are informed, returned on July 22 from Streaky Bay, where he consecrated the pretty little Church of St. Augustine.” [Evening Journal 23 Jul 1873]
The first part of the hall was built in the early 1890's and it has been extended several times to include reading and library rooms with a connecting verandah. The side verandahs were added in c1912 The hall was built from public funds
Schools of Arts, Mechanics’ Institutes and Literary Institutes were an integral part of the early fabric of Australia society. Nearly every country town had its School of Arts and many still exist under different names reflecting their continuing role as centres of community activity – some ArtsNational societies hold their lectures in the local School of Arts building.
Following the establishment of the first Mechanics’ Institute in Hobart in 1827, the movement spread rapidly bringing wider education, culture, art and literature to communities throughout Australia.
