Old favourites

Some toys on display in one of the rooms of Hughenden Manor.
Hughenden's only about twelve miles or so from where we live and it was the home of Benjamin Disraeli who was a Prime Minister in the time of Queen Victoria. It's now owned by the National Trust and is open to the public.
Lester and I went there for lunch - (not in the house, as with a lot of its properties, the NT has put its cafe in the stables) and a wander through the house today.
Great treatment!

That's delightful - so very clear, too. And an early motion picture device!

Great look on these items that look totally unplayed with!

You and Lester see the most interesting places. The sepia tones fit perfectly with the vintage collection of toys.

Beautifully thought out composition. I should know what these film show machines are called, but can't remember.

@hamble Thank you, Hamble. Someone at the NT knows how to put a group of items together really well.
It's a praxinoscope, a successor to the zoetrope which had viewing slits cut into the drum all the way round, rather than the mirrors at the centre which this has.

Lovely shot and sepia processing.

Not sure how I missed this one. It's a great vintage feel the way you did it. Toys of the past are so much more interesting and creative than today's technology based ones. Love it.
