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.
...you have collected some classic pairs.
ReplyDeleteNever knew it till I went looking through my folders!
DeleteA fun post and photos. The last one is my favorite. Take care, have a wonderful day and a happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteThose young people remind me of the feelings I had when a teen!
DeleteFlorence and Susie , oh yes, I would hang out with them! They pair nicely with pretzels!
ReplyDeleteWell, y'all have a good time!
DeleteThese are amazing. Quite an astonishing collection, Barb.
ReplyDeleteThanks...people that I think are worth saving their photos, I guess.
DeleteI really like the looks of Florence and Susie. And would like to know more about them.
ReplyDeleteOh my. I may have to do some research...
DeleteGreat twosomes from history. You’ve inspired me.
ReplyDeleteSusan
So happy to know you're inspired. Can't wait to see your creativity!
DeleteSome interesting stories there waiting to be told!
ReplyDeleteOh, if only the walls could hear!
DeleteLove these! My favorites are Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, and the moonshine sisters. My kind of gals!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wide diversity, it's interesting to see who favors whom!
DeleteWhat a wonderful collection of twos! Famous people tend to find each other!
ReplyDeleteThey seem to sometimes if there's something in common with them.
DeleteThis 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.
ReplyDeleteAgain, listening through the walls...or the clouds if considering Roosevelt and Muir (who's birth anniversary is today the 21st).
