Gnu,
I remember watching him on TV and in a few movies. He never gets any respect!

This is just THE BEST image I’ve seen in ages. I said so on Facebook and even had to share it on Facebook. You’ve found a doozie!

Thanks, im6 for the Facebook posting. I too loved this image. There were so many things to see, some quite odd.

Yes, that’s exactly it. Did you notice the back of the chair the woman on the right is sitting in? Not to mention that same woman looks completely BEAT 🙂 And they both look a little old to be playing with that doll. There must be some little girl out playing in the surf off-camera.

im6,
I did notice the back of her chair, but didn’t know what it was. I also noticed she is wearing stockings while sunning her legs.
I loved the hat on the other woman and wondered what she was holding in her left hand.
The doll is one of the oddities in the picture.

Gnu,
What a loss! He always made me laugh. His command of voices was extraordinary. He did amazing characters.

Gnu,
It was a pleasure listening to Rodney again.

Decked out – A mother and daughter relax aboard a ferry on their way across the English Channel to France in 1951.

minicapt,
What amazed me was how skimpy some of the outfits from the 20’s looked.
I would never have guessed they were mother and daughter given the completely different styles of clothing.

Nice detective work. I should have done a photo search, but I’m as lazy as the woman on the right! I was surprised to see the date of 1951. I would have guessed sometime in the 1930s.

im6,
I would have also said the 1930’s, but then we have to remember the 50’s were a bit of a throwback after the war. Hats were still in!
