This week Sepia Saturday challenges bloggers with the photo of a father and daughter on a ship. There’s some latitude with the prompt and I’ve decided to find photos of fathers and daughters.

Each week Sepia Saturday challenges bloggers with an image from long ago. This week we see three men wearing hats at a cattle sale. One man’s smoking. So there are a lot of choices for bloggers this week. I decided to search for cattle sales. I found photos on Flickr Commons, an archive of heaps of old images from all over the world.

Hats off to the 19th and early 20th century. They sure had some innovation and creativity in terms of invention.
Maybe we should be more humble about our era.
Every week Sepia Saturday challenges bloggers to post based on a prompt. This week’s prompt is above. I’ve only seen sidecars in movies and I’ve always thought they looked fun. Here’s three sidecars I discovered in Flickr Commons.

Time for this week’s Sepia Saturday post and a time to take a look back in history. Sepia Saturday challenges bloggers to share images and posts of bygone days. This week we’re inspired to find photos based on the photo above, photos that show healthcare workers.

No mask, no streetcar. In Seattle during the Spanish flu one had to have a face mask if you wanted to get on a streetcar.
Compulsory mask – State Library of New South Wales, 1919
The Flickr Commons entry has this note:
The skull and crossbones on the mask was a joke, not part of the mask as issued, in an attempt to halt the disease. 12,000 died in Australia and between 20-100 million around the world, more than were killed in the War
LOC, Flu Fighters, Montenegro, 1918
Healthcare workers with the American Red Cross. They went to Montenegro to care for small pox and typhus patients. Then the Spanish Flu broke out and brought them more patients.
