Up In Smoke
Mrs Cph is cleaning out our 150 year old glass cabinet and just showed me this, her grandmother's cigarette case. Solid silver and engraved with meticulous detail, it is quite a thing. The prime signatures "Mor & Far" would be Mrs Cph's great grandparents and we can only assume her great greats are in there too. We think it was a wedding gift. We are lucky enough to have 3D glass slides (and viewer) from the time too. Unfortunately the fur coats, yachts, jewellery ........and money from the pictures have long since left the family but we do have an incredible record of it all.
Random bank holiday tomorrow and I really need it. Have a great Kristelig Himmelfartsdag everyone.
This is straight from my phone's b&w sensor (it has a colour one too) which has managed to give a little DOF with no fakery. I'm rather impressed. Possibly needs to be viewed large.
