    We are lucky to have this portrait of Mary. It igives us a hint as to the charms and beauty Lincoln saw in her.
  • fw652830 said:
    Mary Todd Lincoln's all too young lifetime was in many ways, an additional tragedy of the War. A mother whose husband was taken from her by a crazed southern sympathizer and a baby boy lost early in life were double tragedies with which she could no longer bear. Rest well, Mary Todd!
  • Gail Dedrick said:
    Mary lost three sons, Eddie, Willie, and in 1871, seven years after Mr. Lincoln, Tad (Thomas) Lincoln.
  • Stieglitzz65 said:
    I never knew that she was so pretty. Is this a wedding portrait?
  • Gail Dedrick said:
    This was taken about four years after they were married.

Rolls Royce Cylinders at the Elswick Works

    I hadn't realised this fact either! I'd assumed (never do that..) Rolls Royce took care of their own things elsewhere and not within another makers factory. These engine blocks may not have ended up as wartime equipment either - Rolls Royce were, and still are, renowned for their reliability. The engines could also have ended up in shunting locos or even rare items such as emergency winders for mines should their headgears fail.

    Did Stanley simply collect these photos? It’s so sad there are no names.
