wrote: Good morning Karen: I have gone to Corbus' website, and printed a small size image of your knitting man. There is a watermark on it to stop you from using it commercially. I will mail it out to you. Stock photography is used a lot in the advertising industry. There are many oulets selling pictures of practibally anything. (after I retired from my research job with an advertising company in toronto, I brought home several of these old stock books, they are great when you need good ideas for a design) This photo was made in the Jolly Sailors Inn in Cornwall England. The photographer is, or I assume was, E.O. Hoppe. This picture was taking in 1932. I assume that Corbis bought the rights to sell this picture to anyone who is interested in using this image of a knitting (I would say sailor). I am sure that you can get a good copy from Corbis.

Helen, for some reason, I can get to the site, but not to the picture -- I think I don't have something enabled, like maybe javascript, or maybe my firewall doesn't like it. Does it say anything about when it was taken? I'm curious about whether it's really an older photograph, or if it just looks old because it's in black and white. Whatever it is, I think it's a great picture! Karen in MN Yes it says : Photographer: E.O.

You guys rock! You found it! Isn't it a cool picture? Now that I
have some information I can search for a way to buy that picture. Corbis looked like they would make it kind of hard. We'll see... How ironic that the E.O. Hoppe trust is right in my old neighborhood in Pasadena CA! I might have been able to get it there. Thanks guys! Laurie Washougal, WA |

Karen, thanks for posting the info - that's a *great* pic!
Of course, now I'm imagining the bewilderment of the Corbis co. checking their webpage stats, what with all of us going and looking at it. gg "Why is *this* one popular all of a sudden?" Hee.
