  A nice 1970's image. I find it interesting that the adult male is also wearing "flares". Where I come from he would have been considered an old guy trying to look young.

  Fascinating stuff... at first I thought the photo was taken in the 1930s, then I noticed the boy is wearing bell bottoms!

  Great very 'Steptoe & Son' when the tv series ran?

• Gosforth Photography said:

  Absolutely love this. Street photography at it's peak. "Oi, tinker. Fancy posing for a few minutes while I get set up and if you don't mind, put your best menacing face on?" . I could imagine doing that now with a couple of grands worth of stuff strapped to your back in the current climate?

Three men at dusting books

  I think the two men at left are in prison garb, and the man at right is in guard's or warder's uniform.
  
  When looking at the associated photograph www.flickr.com/photos/nypl/3109284623/in/set-721576109675...
  
  I wondered why they were flicking the dust onto the books carefully laid on the ground, but now I see that they are using a type of vacuum device with a brush head.
  
  We can see the hose attached to the head, and extending behind the men at right.

  Hi, this photo has been mentioned in a discussion thread in the Flickr Commons group, and we'd love to have this added to the group pool!

  I seldom see dust in libraries. Is that mainly because of ventilation systems? Or do they still literally dust the shelves?

• Lú_ said:

  This image has been used in Rob Ketcherside's indicommons.org 'Across the Commons' post Clean Up Yer Mess. (When I worked in libraries, we read the shelves, but I don't think we every dusted them.)
  
  

Residence in Riverview Terrace at Hamilton, Brisbane, ca. 1947

  Hamilton: 6km northeast, this is Brisbane’s “old wealth” suburb as it was home to many aristocrats and clergy in our early history. Named after the hotel built in the 1870s by Gustavus Hamilton. Source: hicksrealestate.com.au/secret-history-brisbanes-suburbs-z/
