Via The Independent and then When Saturday Comes, explaining last month's archive photo of Newcastle supporters in 1932 by James Jarche ("a personality whose list of assignments read like a social history"). Assignments Jarche undertook included:
* the manufacture of penicillin
* developing the jet engine
* dancing the can-can
* digging for coal
* life in Hyde Park
* copperworks in Swansea
* beauty contests at the seaside
* chemical laboratories
* motor racing
* expanding the London Underground
* Roman pageants
* Kipper Girls in Scotland
* Amy Johnson's airplane
* King George V's coronation
* the launch of the QEII
and by all accounts there were more.
