Conversations

Here’s a selection of the conversations happening on these photos & illustrations:

British motorcycle despatch riders (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Pixel Wrangler said:

  From Wikipedia: "A despatch rider is a military messenger, mounted on horse or motorcycle. "Despatch riders were used by armed forces to deliver urgent orders and messages between headquarters and military units. They had a vital role at a time when telecommunications were limited and insecure. In the British Army, motorcycle despatch riders were first used in the World War I by the Royal Engineers Signal Service. The riders were originally volunteers, some of whom supplied their own machines."

• Wystan said:

  LOC -- Bain's caption has no comma.

Diaz (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• RaUko said:

  Don Porfirio, sin duda uno de los mexicanos mas emblematicos de una epoca, y al mismo tiempo de los mas polemicos, tanto en vida como en muerte. No se puede hablar de un solo Porfirio, antes de entrar al poder, se habla de un ser heroico, cuando esta en el poder por 30 años, es el dictador frances. Sin duda, gracias a el México tuvo gran impulso en cuanto a la industria e ironicamente, impulso las escuelas normales (escuela para profesores), aunque mantenia en gran ignorancia al pueblo.

Finleyville - at mouth of mine (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Nathan Adams said:

  I love this! Everyone's expressions, especially the little girl's, are fantastic.

• Joe said:

  An explosion and fire at the Cincinnati coal mine, located near Finleyville, Pennsylvania, resulted in the deaths of 97 miners and one member of a rescue crew. The disaster occurred on April 23, 1913. Web page with a lot of typos and a drawing made from this photo
