A Problem of Income: Grenville and Sue Collins Deep in Thought as they Await the Arrival of their Royalty Statement (circa 1910s) In this evocative photograph, Grenville and Sue Collins are seen intently focused on their financial affairs, their expressions reflecting the seriousness and concern that often accompanies the task of managing one's income and expenditures. The setting is the couple's cozy home office, filled with the trappings of a bygone era: a large, leather-bound ledger lies open on the table before them, its pages filled with meticulously recorded sums and figures. An inkwell and quill pen are at the ready, indicating that the couple is in the midst of making entries or adjustments. The atmosphere is one of quiet determination, as Grenville and Sue work together to ensure that their financial situation remains stable. The Edwardian-era clothing they wear adds to the historical context of the image, transporting us back to a time when keeping accurate accounts was a necessary skill for managing a household. The anticipation in their expressions suggests that they are awaiting the arrival of an important document - perhaps a royalty statement from a publishing company or a dividend check from an investment. Despite the seriousness of the task at hand, there is a sense of familiarity and comfort in the scene. The couple's body language speaks to the deep bond they share, as they work side by side to tackle the challenges of their financial situation. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the universal nature of financial concerns, and the importance of working together to overcome them.
