Nice dirty street. You need a pair of mr McDowell's boots.

And a tin bath or two to wash off in. Love the "garage" added to the carriage works, just to service those new fangled autos further down the street. Nearer to 1914 with those?

Bundaberg Rum, colloquially known as Bundy, is a dark rum produced in Bundaberg East, Queensland, Australia, by the Bundaberg Distilling Company. In 2010, the Bundaberg Distilling Company was inducted into the Queensland Business Leaders Hall of Fame. Bundaberg Rum originated because the local sugar mills had a problem with what to do with the waste molasses after the sugar was extracted. Molasses was heavy and difficult to transport, and the costs of converting it to stock feed were rarely worth the effort. Sugar men first began to think of the profits that could be made from distilling. The Bundaberg Distilling Company began its operations in 1888, and Bundaberg rum was first produced in 1889. Production ceased from 1907 to 1914, and from 1936 to 1939, after fires, the second of which caused rum from the factory to spill into the nearby Burnett River.

Funeral for Whitelaw Reid. Looks like they're outside the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.

B&W, my true love. Great photo

captainslack: In this case, the details of the photograph have been included in the above record in the Notes area, and the original title left intact. You'll see by reading the Notes that your conclusions were correct!

This photo caught my eye because it showed me how customs were back then and how funerals were held. Today we do the same thing, but in this day in age a lot of it seems pretentious. In this photo I see tradition and attention to detail for this fallen man and I also see how people respected the dead.
