. Postcard photo of a group of entertainers, the Jollity Boys, at Herne Bay, Kent, England, dated 1903-1914. The photographer was Fred C. Palmer of Tower Studio, Herne Bay, Kent, who is believed to have died 1936-1939. 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. in the case of this picture, there is no white frame on the paper, but it is important to see exactly where the edge of the postcard is, to see how Palmer has cropped it. The cropping is part of the composition. Thank you for taking the time to read this. between 1903 and 1914. Fred C. Palmer (died 1936-1939) 126 Fred C Palmer entertainers Herne Bay
