Hampton-on-Sea, Herne Bay, Kent, England: historical photograph of Hampton-on-Sea in the last throes of coastal erosion. This photo is a scan of a postcard in my possession, but it is also reproduced in Easdown, Martin, Adventures in Oysterville: The failed oyster and seaside development of Hampton-on-Sea, Herne Bay (Michael's Bookshop, Ramsgate, Kent, 2008) on page 35, with the caption: "Reid and a lady companion stand in front of the end house in Herncliffe Gardens, which was wrecked by the sea in early 1910". The man in the photo is Edmund Reid, who had previously been the head of Metropolitan Police CID and investigated the Whitechapel murders. The photographer was Fred C. Palmer who is believed to have died in Hungerford 1941; (fl.1892−1935). BorderThe 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. |
