A Female Mason Perched High above Berlin (c. 1910). With the rise of industrialization, the number of German women who worked outside the home also increased. This usually meant factory work. But in some families with their own businesses, daughters also learned a trade so that they could help out: here, we see a master-mason’s daughter during the renovation work on the old city hall tower in Berlin.

colourised of Frances Griffiths and Elsie Wright photographed in Cottingley, England, 1917. The fairies were featured in photographs taken by two cousins who lived in Cottingley, near Bradford in 1917. The pictures were seen by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who sued them to illustrate an article on fairies he had been commissioned to write in 1920. He later started writing a book on them but never finished it. Public reaction ranged from disbelief to a cult following. Interest in the fairies waned after 1921 and both girls lived abroad for some time. In 1966 a reporter from the Daily Express found one of the cousins, Elsie Wright, and after she said she thought she had photographed her thoughts the media became interested in the story again.
An academic, Joe Cooper, became captivated by the photographs in the 1970s.
He was obsessed with the story and decided to take up where Conan Doyle had left off. He spent more than seven years and a personal fortune on investigating.
Eventually he was told by the cousins they had faked the whole thing, in 1981. The fairies were actually drawings by Elsie, secured in the ground with hat pins. #victorianchaps #faeries #fake #goodolddays #retro #vintage #oldphoto #1910s #edwardian #england #nostalgia #pastlives

The art of the ‘selfless”. Photographer unknown, ca. 1860s–70s, Boston Massachusetts
Courtesy the collection of Lee Marks and John C. DePrez, Jr. Because 30-second exposure times and squirming children don’t mix very well, portrait studios often employed women who would help the young subjects stay immobile—while attempting to remain invisible—when mothers weren’t holding their children themselves. #victorianchaps #nostalgia #victorian #oldphoto #goodolddays #pastlives #retro #portrait #bizarre #history #baby #mother #1860s #1870s (at Boston, Massachusetts)
