Cheap Jack’s Calcutta
by Richovery
This small photograph (2.25″ x 3.25″) was lodged in between a pile of postcards in a Shropshire antiques shop. It looks as though Cheap Jack was using photographs as a business card to advertise his studio and stores in Salboni, Midnapore, Calcutta. The reverse of the image has Cheap Jack & Co stamped on it. Unfortunately I could not find any record of Cheap Jack’s online.
Love that Richard. So unique. What a shame there is no record of the business.
Thanks Katherine, it reminded me of a photobooth image. Thank you for your likes and comments.
