Well done! This collection is bound to become a reference for any serious student of the banjo and its history. It presents a complete and impressive cross-section of the instrument and its role in the society of the time which is vital to our understanding and appreciation of it today. 

Wow.  I could have sat all night watching the photos. Great stuff Ian.    It was nice to see so many women in the slide show.

Completely crazy. Amazing and impressive. Well done, Ian!!

what a great show!  well done and thank you.

yes Great ; Is it possible to have the name of all the Bj players , birth , place & day and the name of their mothers in law ?

Marc, That is a brilliant idea. When can you get started?

I will send you my pen and a note pad of paper for you to jot them all down for me.  It is always great when people volunteer to help. I am sure that everyone will be pleased to hear of your progress soon.

They are great pictures, but I have just about seen enough of them over the last few days, as they have all had to be edited ;-(     

BUT for those who are browsing... I have just added about another 50 pictures to the "TIME MACHINE"

for you to enjoy.

Great job..maybe you can now start playing again!..what the pictures do illustrate is how incredibly popular the banjo was pre WW1...Most of the non banjo players I've met thinks is all started with Dueling Banjos ans Smokey Mountain Breakdown!

amazing so many lovely ladys playing banjo ,and so many banjos ,do they grow on trees .Imust go up the garden and pick me a couple of clifford essex

AMAZING! Thank you!

here are 2 more pictures of the period for your collection  ; unfortunatly , names are missing , too ; 2 English fellows , i guess

Thank you for posting Marc,

But I have to think of the ladies when I post pictures to the "Time Machine". These two rouges are likely to bring on a "bought of the vapors" to our delicate members. They look a real pair of ruffians and no doubt about it!

The one at the top looks particularly shifty. You can easily tell that as his eyes are too close together!

The one at the bottom reminds me of someone's great grandfather, who was a master of disguise, but I can't think who it is.

Oh  I don't know Ian, they look ok to me.   Perhaps not English. I would guess, French and American.
