Description

Postcard photo of the sea front at Herne Bay, Kent, England, 1907-1914. The photo was taken from the pier, and shows the beach to the east of the pier. The photographer was Fred C. Palmer of Tower Studio, Herne Bay, Kent, who is believed to have died 1936-1939. The back of the postcard is unused and unpostmarked, but it has Palmer's address as Tower Studios, Herne Bay, where he worked 1907-1922. The women's clothes and presence of many men and hoys (small boats run by men) suggest a date before 1914. This photo is not as sharply focused as most of Palmer's work, so little close detail can be seen.

Border

The remaining border of this image is important for researchers of this photographer. Some photographers trimmed their images more than others, and Palmer has a reputation for producing smaller postcards than other early 20th century UK photographers. He took his own photos, developed them in-house onto postcard-backed photographic paper and trimmed them himself. It is worth adding that during hand-developing the border is actively masked with equipment which both crops the picture and causes the white frame or border to appear on the paper. This frame is part of the design and is one of the reasons why the quality of Palmer's work is so interesting, and why there is an article and category for him on English Wiki. Researchers need to see exactly where the edge of the postcard is. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
