As a boy from North Lincolnshire, I just love this photo of a policeman in a police boat taken in 1917. Thanks to Facebook’s Saildream for passing on the shot.

Colour on the Thames, 1935

Colour on the Thames (1935) – a boat study, a film-poem, a picture postcard – and, in 1935, probably something of an experiment too. Photography by Adrian Klein, colour by Gaspar-Color.
