A signwriter at work in his studio taken circa 1877.

This was part of a collection of rare historical photographs which were taken from 1873 to 1877 and are part of "Street Life in London", a book that was one of the first examples of social documentary photography.

The authors, photographer John Thomson and journalist Adolphe Smith, aimed to reveal by the innovative use of photography and essays the conditions of a life in London.

In more recent years “Feelings” has been best known as a target of parody and ridicule for embodying what are perceived by many as the most insipid lyrical and musical qualities of 1970s “soft rock” music. It appears frequently on lists of “the worst songs ever” and was included on the 1998 Rhino Records compilation album ‘70s Party Killers. (wiki)

My only purchase over the break, welcome to any “romantic evening” 1989-1999, also on the same album is a heartless attempt at The Godfather theme.
