Description

Postcard photo of the daily Ronald Cecil Concert party between Tower Gardens and the Clock Tower, Herne Bay, Kent, dated 1910-1913. The photographer was Fred C. Palmer of Tower Studio, Herne Bay, Kent, who is believed to have died 1936-1939. This photo appears to be contemporary with File:Fred C Palmer 005b.jpg which shows the same concert party stage in the background.

Noteː This is not a tableau vivant (an entire group in a stationary pose) as such. This is a natural and un-directed crowd - although they may have been told to ignore any strange goings-on. The crowd has been seeded with actors from the Concert Party, who are scattered within the crowd, performing their own separate and comic tableaux vivants in groups of one, two or three.

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. It's also important to be able to see that this extraordinary tableaux vivants picture that contains so much is really just a postcard. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
