<p>[QUOTE="Batman_2000, post: 89238, member: 481"]Wow, thanks everyone! I'm glad you like the album. I found an old newspaper article that refers to 'photo stamps' which seemed to be a fashion around the 1890s/1900s - a persons portrait on a fake postage stamp. So presumably this little album would have been used to collect them. In this case, tiny photos have been collected instead.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Don't be sorry! Thanks for posting the information. I got as far as you did when researching EJ Care, and came to a pay-for-information page. Too expensive for me! Although I've only had a selection of the photos out of the album, there's a definite Manchester connection. I was hoping for one or two with people's names on, but no luck so far!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes! He has the same kind of heavy-lidded look.
