This one intrigues me. Who were they and where were they going? I assume the focus of the photograph is meant to be the three children - it's a...
My latest find... I have a 'thing' for theatrical images at the moment! I was hoping to trace the actor on this cabinet card but haven't been...
Great photos, with lots of character - I particularly like the women in the floppy hats :-) Is the man standing on the sandbags a Canadian Mountie?
Thanks for doing that - they are very similar side-by-side. Make up and lighting can cause some differences/similarities though. I need to find...
Thank you, Fig! You made me think to go back and look more carefully for the photographer (J Williams). I found him advertising for a 'gilder' to...
I'd appreciate your opinions... I recently acquired a bunch of cabinet cards, which included some theatre related ones. Some are named, but the...
Thanks everyone! I like the idea of placing black paper behind the photo, but I'm reluctant to open it again in case of damage ;-). I took the...

Cindy, thanks once again. I'll buy some of the filmoplast P90 tape and use that :-). I love images of all kinds but have a lot to learn about the...

By the way, I've hung the photo on the wall but the family are complaining it's creepy...
Eddie Munster... :D:D:D! So. I straightened the photo and roughly cloned out the corners (too distracting) - what do you think? A tipsy...
I imagine someone needed a steady hand to paint all that gilt! It's really quite finely done.
Thanks Fig, it's definitely on glass, so ambrotype it is... 42Skeezix, I had 1850s in my head when I saw it, so the additional dating of the...
Thank you all! I think you got it... a stereopticon/stereoscope as suggested by 42Skeezix :-). Check out this page:...
I picked this item up this morning - the photo measures about 11 x 9cm and is on glass. It is beautifully framed and protected by another glass...
I love coming here, to this forum, and checking out other people's 'stuff' and sharing my own! I love chestnuts, even the taste. Reminds me of...
