Description

Perhaps the most curious image in the album, being the only one of a named person. What is even more intriguing is that records - janus.lib.cam.ac.uk/db/node.xsp?id=EAD%2FGBR%2F0180%2FRGO... - show that Oakley sat an examination and was offered a post in 1899, but then offered his resignation in 1901, so we must be confident that this image dates no later than that, and assuming that all the images are contemporary then we have a very narrow timeslot of 1900-1901 for the album.

From a lovely small album containing 24 'behind-the-scenes' images of the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, ca 1900. See the full set - www.flickr.com/photos/whatsthatpicture/sets/7215763131028...
