Free Photo Friday 1882 Cassell's lithograph

Happy Friday Folks here are a couple of images from one of my newest finds, 10 issues of Cassell's Illustrated Almanac bound in one book. The book covers the years 1881-1890 each year has a wonderful lithograph cover, great illustrations and tons of old adds. So much to look at in this treasure trove of a book.

I've been meaning to get a altered folk done for you all but it has been a very stressful week. I had to take my horse Clancy in for emergency surgery after discovering his cornea had separated from the eye or something like that, I'm still not sure what happened. A very late night vet visit and decisions had to be made. 2 options remove the eye or put my boy down, a sleepless night but the morning brought the answer, the eye has to go..........I'm not ready to say goodbye to the old boy yet.






So I now have a one eyed horse I think I'll get him a pirate patch so he looks kick ass. Clancy had to stay at the vets for 4 days and his absence caused quite a bit of stress on Daphene his new horsy friend, but he is now back home and things are starting to feel a bit normal. Over the years I have learned many doctoring up skills. I can now add bandaging a horses head to the list, first attempt didn't go so well I ended up cover up Clancy's one good eye in the process which left Clancy less than amused. Tomorrow I get to remove the bandage for good then in a week the stitches will be removed. Then on to getting used to Clancy's new look, he may look strange to others but he still will be my handsome boy.
Hoping this upcoming week is less exciting maybe I'll get to play with some of my photo's.
until next time take care hugs Deborah
