Current affairs
Britain and France sign the Entente Cordiale, an agreement which resolves a number of longstanding colonial disputes (including a Declaration respecting Egypt and Morocco), signalling growing anxiety about the risk of future German aggression. Although not militarily binding, the agreement, negotiated between French foreign minister Théophile Delcassé, and Lord Lansdowne, the British Foreign Secretary, establishes a diplomatic understanding between the two countries.Art and science
J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan is first performed at the Duke of York's Theatre in London. Charting the fantastical adventures of Peter, 'the boy who never grew up', the Darling children and the villainous Captain Hook in Neverland, many adaptations have been made of the story.The painter Gwen John settles in Paris, where she becomes the lover and model of the sculptor Auguste Rodin, modelling for his sculpture Muse.
International
Japan attacks the Russian Navy at Port Arthur, sparking the Russo-Japanese war. Hostility was prompted by the rival imperialist ambitions of the Russian and Japanese empires in Manchuria, North East China, and Korea, considered by Japan to be an essential buffer against colonisation by Western Powers. Japan wins a series of victories against Russia which transforms the balance of power in East Asia, and undermines the Tsar's rule in Russia.Comments back to top

Vanden Bempde meets Johnstone with the marriage of
Charlotte Vanlore Vanden Bempde to Johnstone she became the Marchioness of ANNANDALE d 23 Nov 1762
Her father was John Vanden Bempde of Hackness
Her get grandfather Peter Vanlore of Tilehurst
She married twice
First to
Sir William James Johnstone b 1664
Second to
Lieutenant Colonel John Johnstone b.1698
I would assume association of the names Vanden Bempde and Johnstone would originate with the children of Charlotte Vanlore Vanden Bempde Johnstone
Sir Allan Vanden Bempde Johnstone perhaps a sibling of the first marriage, I have no detail of him in the family of the second marriage that would coincide with the date on the photograph
