the rainey museum is in kansas, neat place

What a waste!

According to movies.nytimes.com/movie/236617/Rainey-African-Hunt/overview "Filmed in 1912 and released in 1913, the multi-reel documentary 'Paul J. Rainey's African Hunt' proved a huge success for its distributor, Carl Laemmle. Many historians have suggested that the profits from the film enabled Laemmle to establish Universal Pictures, an entertainment enterprise that continues to flourish to the present day. In 1914, a second series of Rainey travelogues were released under the title 'Rainey African Hunt' and again photographed by John Hemment." lccn.loc.gov/2002736523 seems to be a still from the movie. From page 29 of the Annual Report of the American Museum of Natural History (the Smithsonian) for 1913: "The Museum is fortunate in enjoying the continued interest of Mr. Paul J. Rainey, who has presented several specimens of big game animals from British East Africa. Mr. Rainey has also presented to the Museum a complete set of the series of motion picture film negatives of his recent African hunt." The report is available in full view at Google books -- books.google.com/books?id=fvASAAAAYAAJ

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Pith Helmets, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

www.smithsonianmag.com/history-archaeology/pietown.html?c... Great article with the history of Pie Town inspired by these photographs.

I do not understand growing Cabbage in Jan 1940 ? I have lived in NM most all my life and even in southern NM , cabbage does not grow in winter unless there is a winter cabbage?

koda24: Sorry about the confusion in the different dates that display with this photo. You've spotted one of the anomalies that happens when historical images are loaded to Flickr in batches. The date "1940 Oct.&quot (in the description on the left) refers to when the photographer probably snapped the shutter. It's the date that came with the original photo caption. The year that displays when searching for photos and under "additional information" (on the right) reflects the single year we were limited to while loading an entire set of photos as a batch. We picked "1940" to indicate the closest decade. The month "Jan." also comes from the batch loading settings. We'll keep looking for a way to synch up the real date and the batch-loading date.

Thank you for clarifying the photos ;)

Something interesting is happening out of frame on the right.

I was going to suggest that it was during the hunger strike by Terence McSwiney but that was in 1920. There were other hunger strikes but of course you had Barrett, O'Connor, McKelvey and Mellowes executed in November 1922? Could it have been a vigil for them? It looks not unlike Government buildings today but why do you think that it is not London???

Swordscookie Is it very unscientific and unprofessional to say "just a feeling"??

I'd like to suggest that this was in fact taken on Prince's Street North, in Dublin.......(that's the one that goes down by the side of the GPO on the way into what is now the entrance to Arnott's multi-storey car park). The pillars look the same but there aren't as many of them nowadays, perhaps a by-product of the extensive damage caused to the building?

I'm in two minds. The heavy showing of patriotic symbols (flags in hand, harp pins on lapels, etc) make me think this is in the UK somewhere. I know this sounds a bit backwards, but I don't think that a crowd in Ireland would've felt the need to wear their colours quite so loudly. On the other-hand, if this was taken during the Civil War, then it's probably a vigil for Anti-treaty hungerstrikers. Possibly outside a prison. Maybe Mountjoy if it's for one/other of the MacSwiney sisters.
