‘Taking a Photograph’ from the book Holiday Friends. A Volume of stories (Illustrated by Eveline Lance. Published by Ernest Nister and E.P.Dutton c.1902 )

Cats and cameras, what is not to love? I picked up this beautiful one-hundred-and-sixteen year old Ernest Nister book at Savers yesterday. Tattered and possibly incomplete, however a few gems still intact inside like this one. Even the endpapers are delicious – a pale blue floral I will get a lot of use out of once I digitise it!
