Cabinet card bought at a Camera fair, the only information on the reverse is December 1900.
This beautiful young lady has such a calm expression on her face.
The photographer was called Davis with studios at 16 Princes Street, Edinburgh and 52 West Nile Street Glasgow.
Postcard bought on ebay with a collection of others.
The reverse reads: Paignton Aug 1929.
I like the photo of the family and the lady having a snooze under a blanket behind them!
Postcard bought at a car boot sale in Dudley.
No message, although it looks as if this crowd has gathered for some kind of performance.
I decided to scan this one sooner rather than later as the top right corner is starting to fall apart!
A great range of hats and facial expressions.
I just noticed the figure in the left aisle and at the back who must have moved when the photo was being taken.
I bought this cabinet card from a camera fair in Wolverhampton, the card had no message other than the photographers details:

Young lady with cat.
Photograph bought at a car boot sale and printed on Kodak Velox paper which together with the ladies dress/hair indicates the photo is pre 1950′s.
There is no message on the back however this is one of my favourites.
Much of the image is out of focus, but the expression on the ladies face, the cat looking away and the gent walking into the image all make it special.
Postcard selected from an album of old photographs purchased on ebay.
No date on this one just a brief message:
Do you know who this is? He is sending it to you.
A postcard bought from a car boot sale in Dudley. No date or post mark.
Dear Aunt & Cousin, I don’t suppose you will know who this is but it is
my Husband and myself. I hope you don’t get a shock hoping
you are all in the best of health.
Love to all from your Loving Niece Frances
Scanned from a postcard bought at Spitalfields Market, London.
The message doesn’t seem to have been written at the time the photograph was taken but at a much later date by a relative.
Aunt Jenny standing on the right, Uncle Genas (usually called ‘Gene’) sitting:
when they lived at Layer-De-La-Haye. Genas was brother to Grandfather Haynes.
The composition of the photograph is great and the pets have been included in this wonderful family portrait.
Postcard bought at Bangor car boot sale in North Wales.
No message on the back of this postcard.
I found details in the photo fascinating; the open door, the ladies dress,
the stones on the window ledge and can you see a third person?
