Musical Accompaniment: Viva la Vida performed by Trio Marimberos

I had a Mugshot March post all queued up to go this evening, but at the last minute, I decided to swap and share this photograph from 1900 instead.

Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections, Cornell University Library.

The picture was taken by Clarence Hudson White and it’s calling Blowing Bubbles, for rather obvious reasons! Blowing bubbles is one of those childhood activities that’s never lost its charm for me.

The bluish color is because the photograph is cyanotype, which is a photographic printing formulation that produces monochrome blue colors.

I hope your week is off to a wonderful start! Spring is in the air!
