Today is Friday the 13th. (Maybe because of this, I did not do so well on my math test... :( )
I bought this vintage picture recently on Ebay. It is not really a beautiful or artistic picture, but its main subject, a Victorian Knabe grand piano, sparks my interest: the piano looks quite similar, but not identical, to my own piano.
The back of the picture has a marked date, June 13th, 1928; I suppose the picture was taken on this day.
The photograph is rather unusual in that its purpose is not so clear. Still, it offers a rare and perhaps eerie glimpse of the past living room without any people present. Already almost 81 years have passed since then...
I wonder if the piano still exists.
