Muriel McPhee made this nightdress for a marriage that never happened.

Muriel created the dress to be part of her wedding trousseau, but after her fiancé died in the First World War, it was packed away forever.

Schützengraben

ca. 1915

Man beachte die Ofenrohre.

Die Herren mussten einen Moment stillsitzen bei den damaligen Belichtungszeiten.

Solche Postkarten ließ man auf eigene Kosten in der Heimat drucken und verschickte die dann von da wo man grade war.

Die Auflösung ist sehr gut, aufwändige Repro. Silbergelatine vielleicht.

One of the most intense and profound moments in history. 11am on the 11th November 1918 when the guns fell silent. This should be shown in every school. #globalmuseum #WW1

@davva23 @wandrecanada @mvilain @sjvn @pluralistic Closer to 1914, during #WW1: “Tobacco was valued as a #wartime necessity, a fact that the tobacco #industry seized upon in its #advertising that featured #soldiers, flags, and all the trappings of a triumphal nation making the world safe for #democracy. At home, tobacco funds were established to ‘send smokes to the boys’, eventually sending 16 billion cigarettes as part of relief by the war’s end.”

Ah #capitalism. Getting folk hooked on shit (that they don't need, wrecks their health and wrecks the environment) since 1614!
