    Carol, NLI, Thanks. Its hard to believe that the photo is of a ships wireless room? Any ideas? DG

    desmondg47 I was concerned about the windows! But look here: catalogue.nli.ie/Search/Results?lookfor=Conningbeg&ty... and the Poole negative numbers are consecutive, implying the title and subject of the photo is correct...

    Here is some history of the S.S. Conningbeg. On Monday the 17th December 1917 she sailed from Liverpool bound for Waterford and failed to arrive. www.irishships.com/loss_of_the_steamers__ss.html

    Nice picture that how commnication technology has been improved. Although its function is very simple, the machine itself looks very complicated.

    this is a wonderful shot! and the colors- were they restored?

    I was trying to think of a tag that said something like "beginning of women's liberation movement" but more concise- ideas?

    That's really gorgeous!
  • Sean said:
    Great shot, the details are amazing.
  • Erwin said:
    Excellent photo! Love the colors. It blows my mind how this photo survived with great colors! I enjoy the color match of her lipstick and the pen in her hand. I also like the history..how people dressed back then and actually "dolled" up for work like this woman in the 40's.

    Salvage was so critically important. You are talking about a period of time when people were saving bacon grease for the war effort. We could learn some lessons about re-use from WWII
