| Description |
Postcard photo of East Cliff at Herne Bay, Kent, England. The postcard is unused, but it is dated on the grounds that the Grand Pier Pavilion in the background was built in 1910, and the Kings Hall has not yet had its 1913 rebuild. The photographer was Fred C. Palmer of Tower Studio, Herne Bay, Kent, who is believed to have died 1936-1939. Points of interest:
Notes for editorsContrastPlease note that this century-old photo has darkened with age. It is likely to be counter-productive to adjust the contrast because detail would be lost in the light or pale areas. If you wish to upload a contrast-adjusted version, please consider uploading it as a separate image, with a link to this image. Thank you for your consideration. BorderThe 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. If you wish to upload a cropped image, please consider uploading it as a separate image, with a link to this one. Thank you for taking the time to read this. |
