Your Editor saw a discussion on Twitter about a tv show set in the past. 'What was that red room they kept going into? Why did photos show up on paper? Looks like magic.' The past can be a closed book sometimes. This advert from 1916 might cast a bit of light on how kids (and grownups) took pictures back in the days before mobiles. Thank me later.

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a wholly remarkable book. It has been compiled and recompiled many times and under many different editorships. It contains contributions from countless numbers of travellers and researchers."
