Family of Thomas de Souza, Bombay, India, c. 1900?

Image by whatsthatpicture
Hand captioned "Bombay family". The lady to the rear looks somewhat like the one in the Canadian Doctor picture ( www.flickr.com/photos/whatsthatpicture/2996278878/ ). The man is almost certainly the Thomas de Souza in this shot - www.flickr.com/photos/whatsthatpicture/2993559382/. Possibly my favourite of all the people shots in this large set.

This is one of a selection of lantern slides dating I estimate to c. 1900. The set appears to be a personal collection, with items connected to Northern Ireland, missionary work, the YMCA, and India.

Lydenburg - Long Tom Pass - Aug 1994 - Family Photo

Image by gareth1953 Got My Bus Pass Now
No trip to the Eatern Transvaal was complete without a stop at the top of Long Tom Pass. The view over the surrounding hills was spectacular and the car park was full of Zulu women selling wonderful soapstone pottery and objects carved out of wood and bone. I know because we never left without buying something.
The town of Lydenburg lies behind Amy's right shoulder. I don't think we ever stopped there but it always signified the start and end of the holiday weekend. Before and after this was the 200 mile straight slog along the N3 back to Jo'burg.
This stop was on the way home from a long weekend spent at Pilgrims Rest and God's Window.
I wanted to take my Mum to see, not just these beautiful places, but also to visit the graveyard in the town which was mainly populated with the remains of many Welsh miners from the valleys near where my Mother was born. I think these miners were looking for gold rather than the coal which is much more common in this part of the Transvaal. I don't think they found much though the town still looks much as it did in its hayday as a mining settlement.
From the viewpoint of nearby God's Window you get stunning views of the whole of the Kruger National Park.

Details and History
The Bibliothèque de Toulouse hosts a multitude of historical images by Eugène Trutat that document life in France at the close of the Belle Epoch. Many are stereoviews with no known restrictions on use. This image is derived from the image titled Etablissement " Le roi Léopold ", Luchon. Framing the image against the pedestrian was doubtlessly intentional - might this be the photographer's silhouette?
