Mono in the museum
I am going to keep with my Monday habit of sharing monotone images, this week from a visit
to the Rotch Jones Duff house Museum here in New Bedford, I have done a couple of posts last year for Market Friday posts of some of the displays in the museum, but I had a few images I never edited or including in this post and I thought they would work well for a mono post
Starting with a shot in the lower level as you enter the house and start walking around and exploring the Museum

A little bit about the property
The William Rotch Jr. House, now the Rotch–Jones–Duff House and Garden Museum, is a National Historic Landmark at 396 County Street in New Bedford, Massachusetts, in the United States. The three families whose names are attached to it were all closely tied to the city's nineteenth-century dominance of the whaling industry. Because of this, the house is part of the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park.
Richard Upjohn built the house in the Greek Revival architectural style for William Rotch Jr. in 1834, on a New Bedford plot Rotch had inherited from his father. It was Upjohn's first house, near the beginning of a long career. Rotch also commissioned a garden in the rear, which later owners would significantly expand. The property remained private until 1981, when it was bought by local preservationists and reopened as a historic house museum. It was declared a National Historic Landmark and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. Today the museum educates visitors not only about whaling but, through its gardens and associated programs for local schools, about the environment as well.
Now I have shared this info in a previous post so I guess I should quote myself as a source so here is the source
there wasn't a lot of light in the museum so all of these shots are with fairly high ISO mostly around 8000 pretty happy how they came out without too much noise
A couple of ladies hats, and the old style hat pins, they always look quite dangerous to me

This doll with its age and wear and tear, felt a little creepy to me, and those eyes I felt they were staring at me the whole time I was in the room it was displayed

I had a great Aunt when I was growing up who had one of these foot action sewing machines, hers was a Singer if I remember correctly, but my Aunty sitting and pumping her legs and sewing is the memory that came to mind when I saw this

And a Quill pen, I don't think I have ever used one myself, but I do remember a friend who was into Calligraphy and had a few of them, and said they were still very much in use by Calligraphers
My written is like chicken scratching in the sand with a pen or pencil I dread what it would belike if I used a quill.
that said when I was in High School at one stage I broke all the fingers on my right hand, and hence had to write left handed and after a few days my writing with my left was better than my right handed writing ever was, and the teacher wanted me to stay writing with my left hand, but once my right hand was healed I went back to it, and you may wonder why
I think it goes back to when I was in primary school, naturally being ambidextrous I would do some things right handed and some left handed, and I still remember an old Nun wrapping my knuckles with a wooden ruler saying writing left handed was a sign of the Devil.
Now I don't believe that at all, but I guess the being wrapped over the knuckles a few times at that age, imbedded the habit in my mind to write with my right hand.

These old things look best in monochrome in my eyes. These are some lovely photos, JJ. My grandmother had such a Singer sewing machine and I think it must still be somewhere on the attic.

The first photo reminds me of a corridor from the Layers of Fear horror video game. That would perfectly fit into that game. The third photo with the doll would also be good in a horror game or in a horror movie.
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
Yes some of these images would fit well in a horror movie :)
Have a great day
Beautiful these photos in monochrome, the scissors are really unique, never seen a pair of scissors like this before
Thanks and aren’t they so interesting

It's really nice to visit the museum because a lot of old school things can be found. That old sewing machine and doll looks like in some horror movies. By the way, if you see the ISO to 8000, it means it's really dark there?
I do love visiting museums like this
and yes in parts of the museum there wasnt much light as it was a grey day outside, so hence the high iso
It never stops amazing me that people would say things like "your writing is a sign of the devil" lolol what is wrong with these people?!?
As far as the pictures .... They are all exquisite! But that first one is SO beautiful!!!! The glow from the light streaking across the wood and the pictures....so so beautiful!!!!
Love it!
Thanks for the visit, and yeah the old school Nuns had some strange ideas, when I was in school some still thought being left handed or ambidextrous was strange, but hey in my case they are probably right i have always been strange LOL
Thanks for the feedback your always so kind :)

Are you actually left handed? Nothing wrong with left handed people. My wife and many great people are.
I am ambidextrous some things I do left handed some right handed
And some things I use one or the other without thinking about it
Wow that’s pretty amazing how people can do that. I’m a little bit ambidextrous but not with writing. If I try it’s so hard. I can use a mouse for my computer in either hand.
When I was in high school I brought me all the fingers in my right hand once and while they were healing I wrote left handed
Once healed I went back to right handed even though a couple of teaches wanted me to stay writing left handed as my writing was better left handed
But I think because if a teachers in primary school wrapping my knuckles whenever I used a pencil left handed it became engraved in my mind to write right handed
I to can use either hand for controlling the mouse
With most sports I bounce back and forth
Darts bowling table tennis etc
This is great news from you. I really impressed .we are looking up to you nice idea.
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
Have a great day

It's interesting to look that museum through mono images. But the doll looks quite scary. And I'm surprised to know that building was built from 1834. People must have done a good job to maintain it.
Ohh yes it is very well maintained they do such a great job
WOW, fabulous photos!
Happy Valentine's Day to you, @tattoodjay!

When I was small, we did not have electricity. My mom had a peddle sewing machine and made all of our clothes. I learned how to sew on it. I think the brand was a White machine. I wish I had one, now.
That’s so cool maybe you can find one sometime
Yes, I can only wish.
My mom had a similar sewing machine and scissors, I think her brand was something like Zetina!
I haven’t heard of that brand
Cool stuff. I like the choice on the editing! I usually enjoy some museum walks!
Thanks kindly
I do enjoy museums that show the history of the are especially
Interesting place mate
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
Have a great day
You mean, there's nothing creepier than a doll? indeed! I did have the Singer machine at my grandma's back in the days.
well I should say not all dolls are creepy, but in a mono edit they do look a bit creepy especially the vintage worn ones
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
