Wonderful collection! I looked up EA And Jessie M King —I’m amazed I’d never heard of them before . So glad to see their work now— —Fresca (commenting on my phone which makes me anon)
What lovely pictures. I walked into town when I was visiting my daughter and got myself turned around. I stopped and asked a gentleman for directions and he told be to "nip down that snicket there". I think he was having a joke on me, figuring that I'd have no clue what he had said. For my part, I knew exactly what a snicket was, and felt that my trip had been made complete by hearing someone use it in a sentence. I was delighted. Blog reading has been ever educational to me. Now I'll have to go to Scotland to hear someone call it a vennel!
Oh! Thanks! Found at the National gallery of Scotland—as you already know, but all new to me: “Based in and around Glasgow, the artists exchanged ideas in the Bath Street studios of William York Macgregor (1855-1923) or through working in groups at Cockburnspath (Berwickshire) and Kirkcudbright.” Will enjoy looking more! —Fresca

ReplyDeleteInteresting public passages. I don't think they would work today with all the bad guys we have.

"A narrow urban tunnel, chiefly Scottish." I had to look it up.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I wonder if E.A. Taylor is a relative of mine since that's my surname also. But as I found out many years ago Taylor is a very common name.
