    9 out of 32 are wearing spectacles (28.125 %).

    beachcomber australia I was using my own spectacles to zoom in on their faces too. It's so interesting that even in a habit that was supposed to quash individuality, some personalities could not be suppressed.

    Sisters of Mercy
    “The sisters of mercy, they are not departed or gone
    They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can't go on
    And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me this song
    Oh, I hope you run into them, you who've been travelling so long”

Protesting in a Top Hat - my word!

  • John Spooner said:
    There was a protest on October 17th 1909 which fits the bill. Fermanagh Herald - Saturday 23 October 1909:
    A demonstration organised by the British Social Democratic Federation, in co-operation with the Labour Party, Fabian Society, and other organisations, was held in Trafalgar Square, London, on Sunday afternoon, to protest against the execution of Senor Ferrer, and was attended by between nine thousand and ten thousand people.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    John Spooner That's some crowd. Will the newspapers be our friend in uncovering Francisco Ferrer's alleged wrongdoing?

    Date fairly securely established as 17 October 1909 then, thank you, and the postcard was sent on 10 September 1910.
  • Mike Grimes said:
    Methinks the protest was a bit late.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisco_Ferrer
  • Suck Diesel said:
    Francisco Ferrer was a Spanish radical freethinker, anarchist, and educationist behind a network of secular, private, libertarian schools in and around Barcelona. His execution, following a revolt in Barcelona, propelled Ferrer into martyrdom and grew an international movement of radicals and libertarians, who established schools in his model and promoted his schooling approach.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisco_Ferrer
  • John Spooner said:
    The protest in Trafalgar Square was mild in comparison with what went on in Italy. It was "in the throes of a general strike" in protest against the "inquisitorial Spanish government", the Spanish consuls in Milan, Carrara and Florence resigned, and "immense bodies of soldiery" were guarding the Vatican day and night. (Daily Chronicle).,

    It seems that the 'secular' aspect of Ferrer's teachings were seen as a threat to certain parts of the Spanish establishment.
