DescriptionFCP Herne Bay 009.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 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 the original version of File:FCP Herne Bay 009a.jpg: gamma and contrast have been changed in that other image. That other file has been uploaded to allow additions of adjusted versions of the original. Please do not edit the original, historical image in this file. Border |
