| Keywords: Fred C Palmer 009.jpg Postcard photo of Bampton Oxfordshire England The postmark says 1931 The photographer was Fred C Palmer of Tower Studio Herne Bay Kent ca 1905-16 and of 6 Cromwell Street Swindon ca 1920-36 He is believed to have died 1936-39 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 Thank you for taking the time to read this Scan of original postcard in my possession 1931 Fred C Palmer died 1936-1939 out of copyright 2011 comparison shot of the same site from the same viewpoint - File Palmer sites 2011 Bampton church 017 jpg this view is today obscured by a tree 2011 comparison shot of the same site from a closer viewpoint in front of the tree from which the church is visible File Bampton Church 020 jpg PD-art-70 Fred C Palmer of Swindon St Mary the Virgin Church Bampton Postcards of Oxfordshire | ||||
