I was very often thinking why I have different feeling from these very old photographs.. They usually have very low depth of field, which is understandable, but they also have amazing space.. I realized it when I was looking to the Library of Congress sets.. Almost all pictures have slightly shorter focus (closer to the camera). Notice that the focus is to the grass before tank, and not to the tank itself. Today's practice is to focus directly to the point of interest (eyes in the portrait photography, tank turret in this case..)

Just thinking of the military aspect.

How succesful was this tank on the battlefield?

Simply beautiful

M4A3E8 "Easy Eight" Sherman Tank at Fort Knox, Kentucky.

Lovely - his name was Blackie

James Knox in 1901.

Niall McAuley Our very first Bed Merchant? Do we think it's safe enough to dub this Mr Knox as James Knox? Arundel Square is a very specific area after all - or Anurdel Square as it says in the online census. I had hoped he might be something to do with the Joseph Knox shop on Barronstrand Street, but they were Hardware sellers...

National Library of Ireland on The Commons James Knox is 60 in 1901. Even if this shot is 1884, he would be 45. I don't think this gentleman is that old. I think this might be a son of James Knox who moved out between this photo and 1901. This could well be Joseph Knox, who by 1901 is 29 and living as Head of his Own Family a stones throw away in Barronstrand Street (with just one servant for company!). He was born in Co. Kilkenny, like James Knox.
