  When you see the kids in these century-old photos, and reflect on the fact that the subjects lived their lives - no matter how long they lived - and are gone, you're made to wonder about all that happened in the intervening years... And just think: her great-grandchildren (if indeed she had children; if indeed she lived through the later flu pandemic circa 1918; or survived polio, or measles...) could be browsing through the images in flickr, unaware that she's pictured here, looking out that window at god-knows what sort of miserable industrial vista...

  Dresser trained as a botanist, however he was producing designs for fabric, silver and wallpaper, amongst other things, by 1857. He was also one of the first people to import Japanese goods into Britain.

  Exhibited at "Into Africa" curated by Harry Lyons in 2007 at the Dorman Museum, Middlesbrough. I have a set named after the title of the exhibition which has images from the exhibition itself.
