The Danish West Indies
So what else happened on the day that Polly posted the card?
Well, on the 22nd. December 1916, the Government of Denmark ratified the Treaty of the Danish West Indies, which allowed the United States to purchase the Danish West Indies for $25 million.
The Desert Column
Also on that day, the Desert Column was established under the command of Field Marshal Philip Chetwode as part of the Egyptian Expeditionary Force.
The Sinking of a British Submarine
Also on the 22nd. December 1916, the Royal Navy submarine HMS E30 struck a mine and sank in the North Sea with the loss of all 30 of her crew.
The Sopwith Camel
Also on that day, British pilot Harry Hawker flew the first prototype of the Sopwith Camel, which was designed to counter the German Fokker aircraft.
The Sopwith Camel was developed as a successor to the very popular Sopwith Pup. The Camel name allegedly came from the formed metal hump that covered the fighter's synchronised twin .303 Vickers machine guns.
Fernando Corena
The 22nd. December 1916 also marked the birth in Geneva of the Swiss opera singer Fernando Corena, who was best known for his success with the Metropolitan Opera between 1954 and 1978.

The Postcard
A postcard which was published by C. Richter Ltd. of London NW. The artwork was by Trow.
The card was posted on Monday the 18th. July 1960 to:
Lauren Ltd.,
9-11 Alie Street,
Aldgate,
London E1.
The message on the back was as follows:
"Dear All,
Hope you are all OK, we are
having a wonderful time here.
Weather is much better, but
still windy.
Hope you are all very busy
doing plenty of work.
See you all on Monday.
Regards to all,
Lettie & Harry".
Trow
"Trow" has been claimed as the pseudonym of Frank Eric Smith, who was born in Salisbury on the 2nd. March 1908, and who lived most of his life in Dorset and Wiltshire. He died on the 5th. October 1985.
According to Smith's family, he drew many seaside postcards in the late 40's and early 50's, and derived his pseudonym from 'Trowbridge', the county town of Wiltshire.
However, Smith claimed to have stopped drawing in 1952, whilst new cards signed "Trow" continued to appear in large numbers until the late 1960's.
It seems that the cards prosecuted by the DPP for indecency in the 1950's were in fact drawn by Thomas Trow (1909-1971) of Stoke on Trent, whose address appears on the reverse of surviving artwork, as the Greyfriars Art Studio.
Foster Reynolds
So what else happened on the day that Lettie and Harry posted the card?
Well, the 18th. July 1960 was not a good day for Foster Allen Reynolds, because he died on that day.
Foster, who was born on the 29th. December 1883, was an American brass instrument designer and manufacturer.
Foster Reynolds - The Early Years
Reynolds began as an apprentice with the Brass band instrument manufacturer J. W. York. There he learned brass band instrument design in a tradition that traced its lineage back through James York, the company’s founder to the company where he learned the craft, the Boston Musical Instrument Company.
In 1904, Reynolds left the York company to take a position with the H. N. White company, the maker of “King” instruments. There he transitioned from craftsman to shop superintendent. Reynolds worked for 30 years in Cleveland at King, rising high in the company.
F.A. Reynolds Company
In 1936, Reynolds founded the F. A. Reynolds Company to manufacture his own line of band instruments. Reynolds gained a reputation for superior workmanship and the acoustical properties of the instruments.
Reynolds spent 10 years with his company, developing successful lines of cornets, trumpets, baritone horns, French horns, and bass trombones among others.
The company realized significant sales of instruments to the United States Armed Forces during the Second World War. Reynolds sold the company to Scherl & Roth in 1946.
Retirement and F. E. Olds
The year after selling his company in order to retire, Reynolds was lured to F. E. Olds by Maurice Berlin, the president of Olds’ parent company Chicago Musical Instruments.
Reynolds moved to Los Angeles, California and took control of the Olds factory there.
By 1948 this involvement lead to the birth of the Olds Ambassador line of cornets, trumpets and trombones which Olds sold for decades. In 1953 Reynolds took on an apprentice, Zigmant Kanstul, who would serve as plant superintendent until 1970 after Reynolds’ death.
Reynolds died at work from a massive heart attack in the presence of Kanstul and others at the Olds plant in Fullerton, California.
Company Legacy
The F. E. Olds company continued under the management of one of the employees present with Reynolds at his death. The company finally closed its doors in 1979.
F. E. Olds and Son has since been reconstituted, and is selling Olds and Reynolds branded instruments with a headquarters in Westfield, New Jersey.
Personal Life of Foster Reynolds
Reynolds was married twice and had three children. His marriage to Frances Dean at the age of 19 lasted 31 years before ending in divorce.
His second marriage, to Myrtle Rozelle, lasted the remainder of his life. He entered the workforce in 1903, and died on the job on the 18th. July 1960.
The Postcard
A Photogravure postcard that was published by Judges Ltd. of Hastings. The card was posted in Conway using a 1d. stamp on Tuesday the 3rd. August 1926. The card was sent to:
Mrs. Monk,
c/o Mrs. Austen,
52, Church Street,
Broadstairs,
Kent.
The pencilled message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"39 Bryn Tirion Park,
Conway.
3-8-26.
I went up Snowdon
yesterday but it was
very cloudy at the top -
I only had just a glance
at the wonderful view.
Weather fine here.
Went through this pass
by armchair coach.
Hope you are well and
having a nice time.
Love,
Herbert.
p.s. I am sending a card
to Gertie."
Llanberis Pass
The Llanberis Pass is a spectacular 6-mile mountain pass in (Snowdonia) National Park, North Wales. Running between Llanberis and Pen-y-Gwryd, the narrow, winding road sits 359 meters (1,178 feet) above sea level, and is flanked by the towering Snowdon massif and the Glyderau range.
-- Hiking & The Llanberis Path: The pass serves as the gateway to Snowdon, with the famous Pen y Pass car park sitting at the summit of the pass.
While the Pen y Pass car park acts as the starting point for the Pyg and Miners' tracks, the official Llanberis Path begins directly in the village of Llanberis. It is the longest (approx. 9 miles round trip) but most gradual route up the mountain.
Parking at Pen y Pass often fills before dawn in peak season and must be pre-booked.
-- Rock Climbing: Carved by glaciers, the pass is world-renowned for traditional (trad) climbing and bouldering. The Dinas Cromlech crag features iconic routes like Cenotaph Corner and Left Wall.
-- Bouldering: The Cromlech Boulders and The Grooves Boulder offer excellent bouldering opportunities.
Due to the technical nature of these climbs, check out the UK Climbing Llanberis Pass Destination Guide for detailed routes and grade breakdowns.
-- Driving & Transport: Known as one of the best and most dramatic driving roads in the UK, the pass is celebrated for its sweeping views and steep, glacial valleys.
The A4086 through the pass is very narrow in places with passing places, and livestock (like sheep) frequently wander into the road.
To avoid traffic congestion and parking woes, it is highly recommended to use the Snowdon Sherpa Bus Service. These buses run frequently, connecting the Llanberis Park & Ride directly with Pen y Pass and surrounding villages.
A Siege in Guadalajara
So what else happened on the day that Herbert posted the card?
Well, on the 3rd. August 1926, some 400 armed Catholics barricaded themselves in the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.
They exchanged gunfire with federal troops until they ran out of ammunition and surrendered.
According to U.S. consular sources, 18 people were killed and 40 were wounded.
The Banning of Parades
Also on that day, Italy banned any parades, ceremonies and public demonstrations that were not authorized as "effectively useful".
A Volcano Eruption in Bali
Also on the 3rd. August 1926, the Mount Batur volcano on the island of Bali in the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) erupted for the first time since 1917, and destroyed the village of Karang Anyar, but the residents were able to evacuate safely.
The Pura Ulun temple, completed earlier in the year, was spared when the lava stopped at the temple gates.
Pioneering Traffice Lights
Also on that day, London's first traffic lights came into operation at 11:25 in the morning at Piccadilly Circus.
The eight signalling lights supplemented the existing group of traffic policemen in guiding drivers. According to London's Evening Express:
"Hundreds of people watched the
red and green flickers in Piccadilly
which told a dozen policemen
when to raise and drop their arms."
Tony Bennett
The day also marked the birth of Anthony Benedetto in Astoria, Queens, New York.
Anthony became the American singer Tony Bennett, known for his signature song 'I Left My Heart in San Francisco'. Tony, who was the winner of 20 Grammy Awards, died in 2023.
More on Tony below.
Ernest Willows
The 3rd. August 1926 also marked the death at the age of 40 of Ernest Willows.
Willows was a Welsh aviator, airship builder and pilot. He was killed in an accident along with four other people while taking the group aloft in a balloon.
The netting holding the basket to the rest of the balloon came loose, and Willows and his passengers fell 60 feet (18 m) to their deaths.
Published in 1934, this cookbook from Sunset magazine was meant to showcase the "truly Western 'home flavor' that is not to be found elsewhere". (Oh, Sunset, always with your California obsession!) The cookbook features recipes from Sunset readers.
There are recipes for entrees, jellies, pancakes, salads, desserts...everything. Best of all, though, are the lovely little illustrations of sweet-faced and graceful cooks by Ruth Taylor White. For each page of "Kitchen Cabinet" recipes there are illustrations featuring a different woman cooking one of the recipes given. They're all so cute!
Many of the recipes actually sound great, and this one in particular caught my eye for some reason. It's pretty easy; layer 1/4-inch thick sliced ham, apples, and brown sugar, squeeze half a lemon over the top, and bake. Here's the pie, ready for baking.

ALSO: I do not speak German and have not translated this, so I have no idea what it says. If you feel like translating, please do! I'd love to know what this says.

Dopo aver incantato durante il Black Cat World Tour oltre un milione di spettatori in tutto il mondo con 137 concerti in 5 continenti e aver realizzato il record di ben 22 show all’Arena di Verona in 12 mesi, Zucchero torna con il “Wanted Italian Tour 2018” nei palasport delle principali città italiane; il 2 marzo è al Mediolanum Forum di Assago a Milano.
Tra i maggiori interpreti del blues in Italia, Zucchero (all’anagrafe Adelmo Fornaciari) nella sua carriera ha venduto oltre 60 milioni di dischi, di cui 8 milioni con l’album “Oro, incenso & birra”. Oltre a essere il primo artista occidentale a essersi esibito al Cremlino dopo la caduta del muro di Berlino, Zucchero è anche l’unico artista italiano ad aver partecipato al Festival di Woodstock nel 1994, al Freddie Mercury Tribute nel 1992 e a tutti gli eventi del 46664 per Nelson Mandela. È, inoltre, uno dei pochi artisti italiani nominato ai Grammy, con Billy Preston ed Eric Clapton come best "R&B Traditional Vocal Collaboration”. Il suo concerto nel dicembre 2012 all'Istituto Superiore di Arte di L'Avana è stato ritenuto il più grande live mai tenuto da un cantante straniero a Cuba sotto embargo. La sua musica si è estesa oltre i confini nazionali grazie anche alle numerose collaborazioni con artisti internazionali del calibro di Bryan Adams, The Blues Brothers, Bono, Jeff Beck, Ray Charles, Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, Elvis Costello, Miles Davis, Peter Gabriel, John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, Mark Knopfler, Brian May, Luciano Pavarotti, Iggy Pop, Alejandro Sanz, Sting e molti altri.
Con Zucchero sul palco ci sarà una super band internazionale composta da 14 elementi, tra vecchie conoscenze e new entry: Il leggendario chitarrista giapponese Tomoyasu Hotei, Polo Jones (direttore musicale, basso), Kat Dyson (chitarre, dobro, mandolino, bvs), Brian Auger (organo hammond C3), Doug Pettibone (chitarra pedal steel, dobro, lap steel, banjo, chitarra), Queen Cora Dunham (batteria), Nicola Peruch (tastiere), Adriano Molinari (batteria), Mario Schilirò (chitarre), Andrea Whitt (violino, mandolino, chitarra pedal steel), Tonya Boyd Cannon (cori), James Thompson (sax tenore, sax baritono, flauto, armonica), Lazaro Amauri Oviedo Dilout (tromba, flicorno, corno francese) e Carlos Minoso (trombone, tuba).

Unexpected Successes of "Stringed White Dresses - An Installation"
I have been working on a series of paintings with "white dress(es)" motif for quite a while, and recently I extended my effort to include some installation/mixed-media endeavors. My most complete effort in this new field was a work titled "Stringed White Dresses - An Installation", completed in March 2013.
Using some rather square and unyielding origami white dresses, pasted onto twine, who was in turn attached to a wooden frame, I created a subtle contrast between order and disarray, manifested in the disordered formation of the white dresses. To enhance the contrast and drama, I affixed to the frame an ink drawing - mostly in black, with dashes of muted red. When I started to get excited about this project, I recorded part of the creation process on video. Below are the video clip and the finished piece.
Though I was happy with and proud of the resulting work, I didn't pin much hope on this piece, which was really an experiment. Yet, I was curious enough to see other people's reactions to it, so I submitted it for publication. In April, it was included in Pomona Valley Review, Issue 7, published by Cal Poly Pomona.
I was quite encouraged by this acceptance and entered it for the ArtSlant 4th 2013 Showcase competition, in the mixed-media category. Last week, I was informed, and then saw the result online, that it had won the award.
That made it the fourth win in ArtSlant's Showcase competitions. ArtSlant is the #1 Contemporary Art Network with worldwide arts calendars, artitsts, reviews, and online art sales of originals and prints.
I am quite pleased and more than a bit amused by its success. A new direction? Maybe. The "White Dress" series will continue, for sure.
Pomona Valley Review, Issue 7 Published with My Paintings and Installation
Hot on the heels of Four Paintings of Mine Published by Superstition Review's publication of my four paintings a day ago, Pomona Valley Review, Issue 7 was published by California State Polytechnic University Pomona, which also features two Paintings and an installation of mine. The seventh issue of the magazine - mine works can be seen on pages 10, 63 and 76, and page 150, one may read a short bio of mine.
Stringed White Dresses - The Process of a New Installation
Lately, I was inspired and several exciting ideas propelled me to work diligently to complete one installation last Friday. I documented the last stage of the process - painting background, wiring strings to the frames and final assembling, including the paper origami white dresses folded before. Below are several pictures and an edited, composite video of this final dash, all recorded on Friday, 22 March 2013.
YouTube Video: youtu.be/15RfK8_u3F0
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is presenting an "Unauthorized SFMOMA Show", which allows people to upload images of artworks to SFMOMA website, and "all works are immediately accepted, each submission automatically constituting an Unauthorized SFMOMA Solo Show on view at SFMOMA via the same website ( sfmoma.show ). Each exhibition starts when a work is submitted and ends when a new work is submitted."
The last piece I posted in that May day was Stringed White Dresses — an Installation, the very first piece in my continuing series of installation or assemblage employing paper as main medium.
Using some rather square and unyielding origami white dresses, pasted onto twine, which was in turn attached to a wooden frame, I created a subtle contrast between order and disarray, manifested in the rather random formation of the white dresses. To enhance the contrast and drama, I affixed to the frame an abstract ink drawing - mostly in black, with dashes of muted red.
The location for my viewing was in the lobby, overlooking Alexander Calder's 1963 installation, Untitled, which also featuring a series of similar objects on wire or strings.
Talk about excited! I was stoked when Phil Massaro of Massaro Ballistic Laboratories told me he wanted me to shoot his mug for the cover if the internationally published Gun Digest magazine. But, was even more stoked when he called and said it was done and awaiting to be put on shelves. Emotional when I actually saw it, and man...it's an awesome feeling. Congrats to us. Haha!

Two-wheel drive class winner Matthew Johnson spins his 1978 Ford Fairmont station wagon to amuse the fans after Sunday's Rallycross race at New Jersey Motorsports Park. A friend made this specially modified car as a joke, but Matthew has found great success with the wagon due the high output engine. It doesn't hurt that Matthew was the national champion in stage rally racing for two years driving an all-wheel drive Subaru.
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recently published results from Fulton County Jail’s (GA) demonstration project to integrate routine rapid HIV screening into the medical intake process.
From January 2011 through March 2012, Fulton County implemented this project. Without which, people diagnosed would likely be diagnosed later in the course of their infection, resulting in delayed access to care and treatment and possible transmission to their partners. Through these screenings, inmate patients also received referrals for community services upon release. Over 12,000 HIV tests were conducted during this time.
Fulton County Jail, a Corizon partner is one of the 50 largest jails in the nation, with an ADP of 2,269 detainees.

So I can now say I have one of my photos published! Of course it's on the front page of the Franklin County, Shippensburg Telephone Book, but I still count that :-)
I was contacted by a rep with Yellowbook who asked if they could potentially use one of three of the photos I had taken in the Greencastle, PA area. Of course, my photos were put into a pool of other peoples' photos, so I didn't figure I'd ultimately be picked. However I was later contacted with the cover photo here showing that they did in fact pick one of my photos of the Greencastle Town Square! I was and still am very excited and grateful that someone thought that much of my work that it's now on a book that many in the area will now see.

Published plans have included a "cascade" of second or third hand 319s from First Capital Connect to the Thames Valley Lines after electrification. These will be thirty years old by then, older than the current turbos, 2+3 seating again, no air-conditioning... I could go on.
Anyway two FCC units, one in Southern colours rebranded for FCC, pass Honor Oak Park in South London ("old stamping grounds" for me) on a Brighton train. Nice to have a wave from the driver.
