Postcard photo of Herne, Kent, England, showing a haywain and wagoner. The postcard is unused and not postmarked. The photographer was Fred C. Palmer of Tower Studio, Herne Bay,
Kent, who is believed to have died 1936-1939.
This print has darkened with age, but it would be inappropriate to adjust the brightness because detail would be lost.
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. This is one of the reasons why the quality of his 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.
Points of interest
Another printing of the same postcard has been found, postmarked 7 June 1916 (i.e. during World War I). It was posted to Mrs J.R. Furnival, 203 Knutsford Road, Latchford, Warrington, Lancs, by her son John. He is presumably in the army, as he says he starts his leave at 2 on Friday. His train journey from Canterbury to Latchford will begin at 3.15pm and end at 10.30pm. He says "Our headquarters are by the church. It is like the photo at present, quite a picture".
