Paired people



Twosomes for April, as our Sepia suggested meme. 


This week a couple are sitting on deck chairs.  But my collected sepia photos yields some interesting famous, or infamous people.




Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony by Napoleon Sarony, c. 1870. National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution.


Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, her husband

Marie Curie Right. Albert Einstein Left. In the Year 1927, at Solvay Conference on Quantum Mechanics

Two sisters, Florence and Susie Friermuth arrested for moonshining during the Prohibition, 1921.

John Muir & Teddy Roosevelt 1903 Yosemite

Union and Confederate Civil War Veterans shake hands in peace at the 1913 Gettysburg reunion. These are the only seated pair for my sharing today...no deck chairs here!

A debutant ball in Harlem, 1940s. Here are many young couples paired off for dancing.

Today's quote:

When we experience change in our life, we only can control our response and reaction to the changes that are happening.


Come see what others are posting on Sepia Saturday (mainly tomorrow!)

  10. This was a super mix of images on the theme as you chose some very interesting duos. I would have liked to have heard the conversations from each pair of friends.

    1. Again, listening through the walls...or the clouds if considering Roosevelt and Muir (who's birth anniversary is today the 21st).

So glad to have your comments...whatever they may be. I'm one who likes to reply sometime or another, so others will see that; or you might happen back sometime and see what conversation might have started.
