| Keywords: FCP Herne Bay 009a.jpg Postcard photo of sunset over the Downs Herne Bay Kent England The postcard is postmarked 1925 The photographer was possibly originally Fred C Palmer of Tower Studio Herne Bay Kent 1903-1922 who is believed to have died 1936-1939 - it is in his dark dramatic sepia style and features his style of writing in white on the image But the 1925 postmark is three years after he left Herne Bay and Palmer is not credited on the back; it is stamped Lowe photographer Herne Bay This print has darkened considerably with age but it would be inappropriate to adjust the brightness of the original File FCP Herne Bay 009 jpg because detail would be lost Evidence that the image originally had a different appearance is in the original 1925 message on the back Isn't it pretty Not the seat I mean the place Important The above image is an adjusted version of File FCP Herne Bay 009 jpg gamma and contrast have been changed This file has been uploaded to allow additions of adjusted versions of the original Please do not edit the original historical image file File FCP Herne Bay 009 jpg 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; this may help them identify the photographer Thank you for taking the time to read this Scan of original postcard in my possession Postmarked 1925 unknown but possibly Fred C Palmer died 1936-1939 out of copyright PD-art-70 Fred C Palmer of Herne Bay Herne Bay Kent Sunsets in art | ||||
