118372An albumen paper photograph 143 × 203 mm with the top corners arched within a hand-drawn thin red ink double-rule border on the original plain card mount 267 × 367 mm; apart from a few light marks to the mount and a little bit of tanning near the right-hand edge of the print the item is in excellent condition. No pertinent details - when where and why the photograph was taken and by whom - are known and the later pencilling on the verso a price and what seems to be a name adds nothing. From first principles we suggest the 1860s 'somewhere in England' a training exercise and an 'official' photographer and there seem to be a couple of women in the middle distance on the right. unknown
