Keywords: Hampton on Sea 1910 124.jpg Postcard dated 1910 showing the back of Hernecliffe Gardens terrace in the process of sea erosion Photographed looking north-east The photographer was standing on the shore as it was then; the shore has moved southward since Some interesting points are 1 another wrecked building further out to sea no longer existing ; 2 the height of the original cliff and buildings above the sea wall on the left which still exists in part; 3 two men standing in the backyard of the furthest house; 4 washing on a line and a mangle remaining behind the middle house which appears to be covered in seaweed at the back indicating a recent storm 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 postcard has no white frame but the edge of the card is the edge of the composition Thank you for taking the time to read this Scan of postcard 1910 unknown although it could possibly be Fred C Palmer d 1930s because the date subject style and white writing are similar to his other work However Fred C Palmer's postcards usually had his name on the back and this one has no name out of copyright Other views of the same subject are File Hampton-on-Sea 1910 023 jpg and File Hampton on Sea 1911 125 jpg PD-old-70-1923 Hampton-on-Sea Erosion in the United Kingdom Disasters Buildings in Kent Fred C Palmer of Herne Bay
