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

• Standel said:

  Great Picture! Google's translation of the entire caption: "Gymnastics housewife in the early sixties: in daily household activities, it is entirely possible to [include] fitness and agility work. The carpet beater is handled here with grace and suppleness." (I'll have to learn Dutch - "Mattenklopper" for "carpet-beater" is wonderful!)

  Kijk naar het patroon van de rok van mevrouw. Een beter tijdsbeeld is er niet! En dat in kleur is fantastisch.

  A lot of old train stations in Argentina look like this nowadays!

• Ciarán Cooney said:

  Lovely portrait of the station, fortunately it still survives. This photo was featured on a BBC railway walk series about 15 years ago in which Mrs Lawlor was interviewed (not sure if she is still around today), I tried to recreate the image myself when I visited Borris.

  Beaten to the Streetview, I will play my GeoHive OS 25" link.

• Gamy Squirrel said:

  Nice shot love the old station and lady.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  Ciarán Cooney That's lovely to know. I've added your info in the description above. Who was Mrs Lawlor? Was she Station "Master"? Was such a thing possible back in the day, or was she Mrs Station Master?

Charles Nutley and family

from State Library of Queensland

• State Library of Queensland said:

  It seems that Charles Nutley lived for only a short time after this photograph was taken. From a newspaper article in the Brisbane Courier from 13 December 1913: TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT HARRISVILLE. A man named Charles Nutley, a resident of Normanby, met with a terrible death this morning. He had brought his dray into Harrisville loaded with chaff. While waiting there his horses were startled by something, and when the man tried to stop them the leader trod on his foot. This caused Nutley to fall or be dragged, to the ground, and a wheel passed over his head, crush- ing it almost to a pulp. The unfortunate man was hastily attended to, but he died within 15 or 20 minutes after the accident. He was 40 years of age and leaves a wife and three children.
