Wednesday 6th Movember: Somewhere in Britain, sometime ago.

Here is a magic lantern slide that perches on the windowsill of my study, photographed against today's grey Movember sky. It depicts an Englishman who, despite doing a passable impersonation of Elgar, remains anonymous. There follows another lantern slide of him, less formal, posed outside on a bentwood chair before a hedge which is clipped as neatly as his own rather impressive moustache.
