Bowler Hat at the Beach
by Richovery
I bought this small photograph (2 x 3″) at an antique fair in Kinver, Staffordshire a while ago.
This is the sort of image I love to find, fragile and faded it looks as though it could be lost forever. The man in the bowler hat is not really dressed for the beach. No information on the reverse of this one.
lost and found 
He reminds me of Ian Carmichael in his younger years. He does look funny on the beach in those clothes!
It is special the way almost everything other than the gent has faded. It gives the picture so much atmosphere and focus.
I liked how everything around him had disappeared too.
