Couple in their Sunday best
by Richard Overy
I bought this cabinet card from a camera fair in Wolverhampton, the card had no message other than the photographers details:
James Bacon and Sons, Art Photographers, 81 Northumberland Street, Newcastle on Tyne. Additional copies of this photograph may
be obtained at any time by quoting the number below. High class miniatures on ivory and carbon pictures on porcelain can be
executed from this photograph.

What a “dapper” couple!
Oh that we were so stylish today.
How handsome !
Having your portrait taken in those times must have been reserved for the rich, I suppose.
I think you are right, it must have been special to have your picture taken back then.
