This one has a very weird detail. The first and third photos in the column have what looks like a homemade copyright on the border. Why does someone feel the need to declare a copyright on family snapshots?
Written on the back of the top photo, "Mother, Dorthy, & David July 1956." The second, "David July 1956." The bottom, "Cal, Carol & David July 1956."
Note the small Kodak camera in the third photo.
I don't think it's a copyright symbol, but instead an ampersand. Maybe it was just shorthand to say where the photos were taken: @ Helen Bru.... Likely someone who did shorthand for a living and they were just used to abbreviating things.
ReplyDeleteIsn't this & an ampersand? I guessed a copyright symbol because I think of @ as something from the computer age, though after some research, I found out that symbol can be found as early as the 16th century. And welcome back again.
DeleteYes, I am wrong. That's what late night reading and writing on Ambien does. The "at sign" is what I meant, though some call it ampersat.
DeleteI keep trying to come back and stay, but being a caregiver sort of makes you lose yourself. You just notice you aren't there anymore.
