He spent some time in the States.<br /><br />Kingston is near where I was born (it is where we went on the Raz) It was where several Anglo-Saxon kings were crowned and Muybridge had a great liking for them. His name Edward was Saxonised to Eadweard.<br /><br />I think you've given me an idea for a blogAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01378637587289025611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2717263358836762175.post-73458491110332263712012-12-15T13:08:30.387+00:002012-12-15T13:08:30.387+00:00I'm not sure why, but the name "Muybridge...I'm not sure why, but the name "Muybridge" is ringing a bell, though in an entirely different context.Kat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2717263358836762175.post-50631721098993253512012-12-11T04:35:42.145+00:002012-12-11T04:35:42.145+00:00One of the things I noticed when I first came to L...One of the things I noticed when I first came to London years ago was the contrast between American and British workmen's dress. There was a distinct uniform for so many British tradesmen - bib overalls, shop aprons, clerk coats, and different hats and caps too. The casual American look now seems to have lowered those standards.

I have memories of my mother in the 1950's wearing a variety of aprons, often very pretty, which she sewed herself. On washday Mondays, it was a very utilitarian overall with her hair tied up in a scarf turban.

With computerisation of the stock exchange, the various markets and Lloyds and the like, the distinctive outfits relating to them disappeared. It's a shame. Now all that differentiates the suited worker is the price of the suitAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01378637587289025611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2717263358836762175.post-78433155228213797872012-12-10T15:48:04.972+00:002012-12-10T15:48:04.972+00:00I hadn't thought of it that way, but now you&#...I hadn't thought of it that way, but now you've said it I agreeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01378637587289025611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2717263358836762175.post-45086379503397453462012-12-10T15:20:22.656+00:002012-12-10T15:20:22.656+00:00Your contribution to the theme celebrates the nobi...Your contribution to the theme celebrates the nobility of work and therefore elevates the overall.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2717263358836762175.post-43308996447532900232012-12-10T14:25:36.810+00:002012-12-10T14:25:36.810+00:00A fine collection of working clothes.

I recently heard a speaker talk of working in Nevada silver mines, and they wore long-johns underneath rain-gear. It was hot and also wet inside the mines, and the long-johns helped to keep the rain-gear from sticking to their skin.<br /><br />Loved the picture of the ladies in the kitchen.<br /><br />Kathy M.Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171271956883698673noreply@blogger.com
