Cartes de Visite Album, Page 50
« on: Monday 28 April 14 23:14 BST (UK) »
My grandmother's grandmother was Martha Hammond Thornewill (of Burton-o[-Trent) nee Wright (of Eyam).  I have her album of some 150 Cartes de Visite, with not very many of them identified.    I have scanned the empty pages, and front & back of each card. 

This is the last page, Page 50.  It holds only one picture, and, despite the SubjectLine, it is actually a "Cabinet Card", rather than a Carte de Visite.

The photograph is of an elderly man; his garb suggests to me that he might be a priest - what do you think ?

And can you hazard a guess as to his age ?  And the date of the picture ?  Given those, we get an approximate date of birth, which just might enable me to identify the subject !  Information about the Studio would be of interest, too.

I'm posting the lo-res versions, so please don't bother to try to improve them.

I am gathering the comments to store in a file alongside the pictures, and, when finished, it will be quite a task to analyse them all and draw deductions as to the identity of some currently unknown.

I actually thought a 'pm' but erred on the side of caution :D ;)
