| Keywords: Fred C Palmer 103.jpg Postcard photo of W Mattingly's outing to Weston July 11th 1923 taken at Swindon Railway Station Wiltshire England From a postcard loaned to 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 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 http //www flickr com/photos/swindonlocal/4367752642/ 1923 Fred C Palmer died 1936-1939 out of copyright PD-art-70 Fred C Palmer of Swindon Swindon railway station 1920s photographs 1920s fashion 1920s | ||||
