An iris is in flower in one of the gardens, which may indicate the season; possibly around early May. Note hewn rocks used as garden wall. Border The remaining border of this image is important for researchers of this photographer. Some photographers trimmed their images more than others, and Palmer has a reputation for producing smaller postcards than other early 20th century UK photographers. He took his own photos, developed them in-house onto postcard-backed photographic paper and trimmed them himself. It is worth adding that during hand-developing the border is actively masked with equipment which both crops the picture and causes the white frame or border to appear on the paper. This frame is part of the design and is one of the reasons why the quality of Palmer's work is so interesting, and why there is an article and category for him on English Wiki. Researchers need to see exactly where the edge of the postcard is. Thank you for taking the time to read this. This print has darkened with age, but it would be inappropriate to adjust the brightness because detail, clouds in the sky, would be lost. . Unpostmarked; 1922-1935. Fred C.
