This week Sepia Saturday , for their 300th birthday, provided us with this image of some unidentified people from The Age of Uncertainty blog here and here. It has long been one of my favourite blogs to visit, enjoying the topics he chooses and the way he writes.
And for my 101st post to this group I have chosen this unidentified photo from our extended family collection. It was taken by photographer Charlie Farr in High Street, Maryborough, in Central Victoria, between 1893 and 1906. It possibly has connections with nearby Carisbrook, and a link to the names Fricke, Aston or Peet and their many connections.
To see what other people saw in this week’s theme photo visit this week’s Sepia Saturday.

Very sweet and natural. We don’t often see children and adults showing affection in those old photographs.

It’s a lovely photo. It’s a shame their names have been lost.

A very sweet photo of – I’m assuming – a granddaughter & grandfather.

Now there’s a special relationship if ever I saw one!

A perfect choice for this weekend. The child’s look of apprehension at the scary camera contrasts nicely with father’s wry smile.

What a lovely photo. I wonder if it was posed or spontaneously.

What an adorable photograph, the way the little girl has her arms wrapped around the gentleman. She either loves him dearly or is terribly concern about being photographed.

It’s rather amusing that the child is hanging on for dear life and the man seems to be struggling to breathe.

That little girl loved her grandfather, that’s for sure.

This a wonderful photo! It reminds me of one of my dad hugging his grandfather. I wish I had photos of myself with my grandparents, but I think there might be less than 5.

Excellent photo for this week.
More heart warming than what was proposed…
