| Description |
Postcard photo of children in fancy dress for Children's Special Service Mission, on the Downs in east Herne Bay, with the Pavilion (now the King's Hall) in the background. The bandstand has not yet been enclosed with glass, which dates the photograph to 1913 or before. The CSSM was an early name for the Scripture Union, which was run here informally via a beach mission. The photographer was Fred C. Palmer of Tower Studio, Herne Bay, Kent, who is believed to have died 1936-1939. BorderThe 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. in the case of this picture, there is no white frame on the paper, but it is important to see exactly where the edge of the postcard is, to see how Palmer has cropped it. The cropping is part of the composition. Thank you for taking the time to read this. |
