| Description |
Reverse of postcard postmarked 15 February 1914 showing the Hampton Pier Inn (now the Hampton Inn), Hampton-on-Sea, Herne Bay, Kent, England. On the back, a Quaker husband is writing from Herne Bay to his wife in London: Dear Wife. So pleased to get your letter this morning and to hear you have been to see Jim. I had a nice letter from him and was sorry to hear of his illness but I hope he will soon be better again. It is very wet down here today. Cannot get out so we are sitting by the fire all singing Hymn's (sic). We have a splendid Harmonium player amongst our Brothers. We are going to have a nice Concert tomorrow night and our Brothers Friends are invited. I shall be at Victoria about 11.30 on Tuesday morning. with Love to you all at Home. I have won another Prize which I have been trying for a long time for Mrs Brown. Good bye Dear. Love (name illegible).
EditingThis is an unedited scan of an historic image. The original print has perhaps faced with age, but it would be inappropriate to adjust the brightness or contrast because detail would be lost in lighter or darker areas. It is suggested that edited versions of this image be uploaded as separate files. 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. Thank you for taking the time to read this. |
