@HouseHistorian @JayneShrimpton I think you will especially appreciate this c. 1900 paneled interior http://t.co/D02VdzBg #
@DrFrond thanks for the comments. Did you know my 'day job' is working at Kew Gardens? I still remember the old fern house 🙁 in reply to DrFrond #
@DrFrond wow, bet you were pleased when you found that one! I'll keep an eye out for more, and ask our archives team in reply to DrFrond #
@DrFrond hard to tell from a small detail. Instinct tells me it's a real photo postcard – correct? If so, likely early 1900s in reply to DrFrond #
Beautiful RT @lifeasdaddy: Circa 1865 tintype. Very unusual mother/daughter pose for that era methinks. http://t.co/jlbMTQBr #

@DrFrond I really, really am being dim – just found it open in another browser window! http://t.co/k0OZXp1N in reply to DrFrond #
@DrFrond ah, a cabinet card? Reverse blank? SUPERB picture, just my taste. Poss 1890s, I shall do some more research. http://t.co/k0OZXp1N in reply to DrFrond #
Not sure I've ever seen as many moustaches in one shot as in this large group of men, August 1907 http://t.co/egVwV1Di #
