<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Batman_2000, post: 283554, member: 481&quot;]Thanks, Fig... on closer inspection the back has definitely been glued to another piece of card or something. There&#039;s the strip of glue that you can just about see, and on top of it a separate layer of the torn card it was attached to.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know if it means anything, but the actual photographic paper is quite sturdy (not the thin flimsy paper that I&#039;ve sometimes come across).</p><p><br /></p><p>The photo was with a bunch of others that were loose inside an old Victorian photo album. The photos vary in age, from 1870s to 1960s (at a guess) but I can&#039;t see this gentleman on any of the other photos, so no clues there.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m happy that the consensus age is earlier than I thought though, since someone has asked if they can use it and I hesitated due to UK copyright. As I understand it, the copyright of an unpublished photo by an unknown photographer expires 70 years after creation. I think I can safely assume this photograph is pre 1947 and therefore out of copyright <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
