Hi Donald,

Have you seen this one of a 19th century lady by her sundial?  I can send a 
higher res version direct if you like.

I'm putting together a presentation about the history of sundials.

I'm primarily after history pictures of people interacting with the sundial.

Do you know where I can find some?

it get spammed-out ?

 I really like the St Petersburg one! the other black and white g792092
 is another great one.
 
 Thank you.
 
 Does anyone have any older ones? A scanned image from a book will do.

Thank you. That is exactly what I'm looking for! I'm still looking 
because I want more pics like the one you sent me.



Hi Donald et al,
The image Donald refers to I sent directly to 
him. I called it 'Old Gentleman Reading Sundial' and is a C18th?? BW 
drawing (180k) and therefore too big to pass the SML size filter.


Sadly I can't recall where I found it many years ago but I'll email 
copies to the curious on request. Perhaps someone could identify the 
source as I'd love to know it?


Tony Moss.

P.S.  Donald...glad you find it suits your purpose.

Hi Donald

Just recently I have finished a new section on GNOMONIKA.pl dedicated to 
postcards, graphics and old photographs. 
Some of them are quite old so perhaps you will find there something 
interesting. Links:
