Every week lovers of history, nostalgia and/or genealogy are invited to share photos based on a photo prompt. Above is our prompt for the week. These anchor men inspired me to look for photos of anchors or blacksmiths. Here’s what I found:
Library of Congress, Japanese Print, 1760
Library of Congress, L. Prang, 1874
Flickr Commons, Tyne & Ware Museum, 1993
NSW Archives, Hurlstone Agricultural High School, 1920
You can see some wonderful interpretations by clicking here.
I love these kinds of photos. Thanks for posting.

It’s an assortment with different takes on the theme, but that’s okay with Sepia Saturday.

The Japanese print is beautiful and still very modern in style. I’ve seen floral anchors before and I think it was a popular symbolism in the days of when sailing ship metaphors were better recognized than today.

Thanks for commenting. I wonder how many kids can identify an anchor.

It is amazing how we all take different angles on the prompt photograph – and that is what makes Sepia Saturday such an interesting site. Why did blacksmiths not occur to me, as I did have images from my local history blog! .

It often amazes me how each of the bloggers focus on different angles starting from the same photo. Well done.
