Description

Portrait photo of two women at Swindon, Wiltshire, England in the 1920s or 30s. From a postcard deposited at Swindon Record Office and scanned and uploaded by them to Flickr. The photographer was Fred C. Palmer of Tower Studio, Herne Bay, Kent ca.1905-1916, and of 6 Cromwell Street, Swindon ca.1920-1936. He is believed to have died 1936-1939.

Border

The remaining border of this image is important for researchers of this photographer. Some photographers trimmed their images more than others. Palmer took his own photos, developed them in-house onto photographic paper and trimmed them himself. It is worth adding that during hand-developing the border is actively masked with equipment which crops the picture. This cropping 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 card is, because the edge of the card makes a frame for the picture, and we need to see what was intended by the photographer. In the case of this image, a little black background has been left to show the edges of the card for this reason. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
