Sepia Saturday

Sepia Saturday

I'm posting at Sepia Saturday today.

The suggested theme was storefronts or any other image you felt like sharing.

I had a photo in mind of my Grandfather holding my hand as we walked down a street in Dublin and I thought it had a storefront in it, but I finally found it (I really should put proper names on my scanned photos!!) and there isn't really any storefront just the side of buildings. Don't the men look so dapper with their hats! My Grandfather always wore a hat.

    People dressed with more panache as a whole back then! Glad you found the pix - it's precious.

    I was born in Dublin too! My grandfathers both died before I was born but I do have similar photos of my grandmother and parents.

    Lovely to have the old photos. Was it taken by one of those street photographers? I have several like that in our albums.

    Yes a warm welcome to Sepia Saturday,and thanks for such an interesting picture. I remember when I visited Dublin for the first time back in the mid 1960s - such a different city then to what it is now.

    I am certain that Dubliners can tell where your picture is taken. I'm sure the street lamps in the background will be recognized.
    I believe all city-grandfathers were hat wearers in those days. How else would one greet a lady then?

    I've never made it to Dublin, but it's a place I'd like to go. Why is it always granddaughters we see holding grandparents' hands?

    I wonder who took the picture as it doesn't appear posed but it's a great composition.
