    Glamorous Bride

    Small waists and full skirts and often a sweetheart neckline were all the rage in the 1950s and ribbed silk and duchesse satins were popular. This gown appears to be covered in tulle. The detail on the bodice is interesting. Note the sea of hats.

    At the time it was really difficult to take a good picture with a cat and a child. Great work.
  • tashapotamus said:
    What a great photo - cats are notoriously hard to take photos of. I wonder if the photographer at the time needed to take more than one?
  • Pixel Wrangler said:
    Hulda Helene Lundager (b.1888), was one of six daughters of the photographer Jens Hansen Lundager (1853-1930).

    Later in life (1913) Hulda was a music teacher, and then (1922) a nurse at General Hospital, East Street, Ipswich. [1]  

    There's another photo of Hulda with her mom in the State Library of Queensland’s collection on Flickr:

    Nicely spotted @fidgetblogs, their mouths are turned down in exactly the same way! It's fantastic!

Fishing party attending the Mick Simmons Fishing Competition, Queensland, 1918

from State Library of Queensland

    Mick Simmons is an iconic Australian company that sold sporting goods but also specialized in fishing tackle and was based in the Sydney CBD. The original store was in Haymarket before the company expanded throughout the Sydney metropolitan area and had a number of stores in King St, Pitt St, Oxford St, Newtown, Parramatta, and Balmain as well as Newcastle. The 1918 'Surcatch' catalog lists a store in Brisbane. Mick Simmons released the 'Surecatch' Anglers Guides which started in 1904. The two publications shown above were pictured in Dunn's book 'Angling in Australia' and are in the Mitchell Library. Mick Simmons lure advertising from the 1936/37 Surecatch Angling Guide. By this stage, Mick Simmons had a number of outlets throughout the metropolitan area and Newcastle. Note the earlier Brisbane outlet is no longer listed.
