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.

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!

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.
