Marvelous. Many thanks. (Old photos fascinate me. Keep 'em coming Yifu BTW. But these in particular are wonderful for their alternative 'take' on the Victorians. It's funny how we associate them with such high seriousness by default. I suppose because they valued that, and so posed that way for the most part. Whereas we value irony? I dunno.)
