Back in the day...
- 1 March 2009 10:1916404My lovely husband bought me a pale blue velvet covered Victorian photo album containing 32 cabinet photos with pages decorated in a flower and vine print. I have never seen anything quite like it before so thought I'd share a few pics.
- 1 March 2009 10:2416405They are lovely those old albums, but I guess as with most pictures like this I have, there are no names on any of them ?Been nice knowing you :)
- 1 March 2009 11:0616406There are a few names but many of them also have the photographers studio name printed on the bottom or back so at least I can see what areas they are from.
It's always a good idea to put names on the back of photos for future generations. I have so many boxes of 'I wonder who that is / was'!

I was browsing through a heap of old photos in a specialist shop near me the other day. There were no names on any of them. All those people, and now they are dislocated from their families and homes. There are pictures, but now we may never know who they were, who once dressed up and went to the photographer to pose, nor to whom they gave the pictures. They're just a collection, in shoeboxes in a shop, and their lives are gone.The Dover War Memorial Project

Here's one of Arthur that was taken when he was a young man - it looks like G T Amos? Fine art studio, Snaregate St Dover.
