commemorative

The Age has published a fascimile of its first edition of Tuesday 17th October 1854.

Might hop down to the Cremorne Gardens as advertised:
The admired Gymnastic Exercises on the Horizontal Bar by Professor Sampson...
Teas in Perfection. Water Cresses from the Lake. The Elephant will take the water from 6 o'clock. Numerous novelties of first rate description are in active preparation
.



In the meantime... we present our own anniversary edition:

Boynty, did you dunk that jpeg in cold tea? For the authenticity like.

No way, TT. Those are coffee stains.

I was a bit lazy and dunked the jpeg in the 'Cold tea' first available Paintshop filter.
Oddly I didn't try the Coffee 'filter'.
I did happen to notice on page 5 of the special edition:
"The Age is marked this morning by many imperfections which we trust will not characterize future numbers...
A large quantity of matter prepared for publication has been necessarily excluded"

(I might pinch that if I ever update my blog description)

That sounds like a typically pompous way for The Age to say; "We have an editor".

WANTED for the Age Jobbing department, a first rate band...
"WANTED a well educated and intelligent youth; apply to Mr. Harnett, Age editor"

Ta.
But you know - still not entirely sure if the 2 year milestone is good or bad.
