Wordless Wednesday is a daily
prompt at Geneabloggers that asks family historians to create a post in which
the main focus is a photograph or image.
This photo of my great-aunt Helen Killeen Parker was
taken probably between 1919 and 1921. Notice
the gramophone which must have provided some fun background music for a camping
trip. In my day, it would have been a
transistor radio. My daughters when in
high school would have relied on their “boom box.” Today, a simple iPod that fits in a pocket can
hold 1000s of songs, more than anyone could listen to on a weekend camping
trip.

Lovely photograph and lovely gramophone - how times change so quickly.
ReplyDeleteThey have all the luxuries, taking the gramophone along!
ReplyDeleteWoW! And there was no RV to carry it all in!
ReplyDeleteHere, if it doesn't fit in the pack it doesn't go :)
Happy Wednesday!
When I see photos of these days, it makes me want to bring my old recorder out to play. I really like how the photographer took her off to the side to shoot your great-aunt and yet the afternoon they all shared is there too!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo! My, how times have changed. From Gramophone to Ipod. I wonder what our grandchildren will be using to listen to their music.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture! Thanks for sharing :)
