A shining wit, according to Doctor Spooner.

Never forget this. Because THEY would like you to.

I have cleaned-up this fascinating Autochrome portrait of the author Mark Twain (1835-1910). He is shown in bed with his book and pipe at the age of 73, and the shot was taken in colour 118 years ago at his home in Redding, Connecticut, by American photographer Alvin Langdon Coburn.
Twain (real name Samuel Langhorne Clemens) is famous for such literary works as 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876), 'The Prince and the Pauper' (1881), 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' (1884), and 'A Conneticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court' (1889).
The photo was taken in 1908 using an early colour glass-plate process and isn't colourised.

I have cleaned this amazing Autochrome portrait of the French Impressionist painter Claude Monet (1840-1926), photographed in colour by Étienne Clémentel near the water Lily pond in Monet's garden at Giverny in 1917 (often dated online as 1921). It was taken in colour over a century ago using an early colour glass plate process and isn't colourised.

@AnfieldEdition Six???? Do you think football started in 1992?

McDermott 79/80, Dalglish 82/83, Rush 83/84 and Barnes 87/88.

@BBCMOTD No - those links came yesterday morning and had been utterly debunked by midday.

Btw, Hitler’s dead. Tell your news team.

@stusfootyflash I met Greaves. Off camera he was a dreadful person. Very racist.

@FabrizioRomano It’s the club that embodies financial doping - and long before the petrostates started doing it.

Real Madrid is a dreadful, appalling club which doesn’t trust itself to be able to win upon a level playing field. Cheats and fraudsters.

@RodneyMarshall1 He’s the new host of ‘HOUSE OF GAMES’.

Do you think he’ll do it as Richard Osman? 😀

@rocknrollofall Paul Young’s slow and soulful ‘WHEREVER I LAY MY HAT’ is vastly superior to Marvin Gaye’s upbeat original.

@premierleague AFC Bournemouth should be first.

[Jef Hughes @OneEffInJef]

@supertanskiii @MittensOff He always is. Stinks of booze.

@BBCSport Dear god.

[Jef Hughes @OneEffInJef]

@MrBlackFootball That is awesome.

@havehopehut It’s “WARY”. “Weary” means tired.

@rewindtvuk It’s a hit and run murder, not “a car crash”.

[Jef Hughes @OneEffInJef]

@20th_Centurygal Neither.

@asim_lfc Same was said about Klopp when we hired him.
