There are so many wonderful images here, and when I scrolled down to the Athletic Model Guild photo, I burst out laughing. Love the "unknown" Victorian (?) woman with her horse in the snow. Evocative! Thank you for making my Sunday morning.
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you sir! : )
DeleteWonderful as always -laughter interspersed with awe and wonder. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThank you! And Happy New Year to you, too, Stefan! : )
DeleteAn american actor, William Powell is paired in many films with Myrna Loy.
ReplyDeleteYes... that's very true. Though I'm not sure how that relates to this post...?
DeleteGreat link, though, Norman. : )
DeleteThat Man On Horseback painting with its quiet melancholy has haunted me for years--a depiction of a man returning home from the Thirty Years War, it captures the exhaustion and disillusionment perfectly. I was glad to see it included here:)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Riekko. : )
DeleteLoL- Amg's Captain Video for late-nite 50's viewing with Bob Saputo and Wayne Hunt.
