Date (if possible) Restore/Colour if you wish!
« on: Saturday 14 February 15 13:42 GMT (UK) »
Hi all

The next photos I've going to post for dating are ones that I rescued  as I thought they were too lovely to be left collecting dust in a junk shop.

I'm very keen to get them dated for reference purposes, but also would love to see any interpretations that you may wish to post and I can assure you each and everyone will be kept.

Please however give other posters priority.

Cheers
Caz

Elwin Neame was reckoned to be one of the top photographers of his generation, based in Wimbledon. He died in 1923, but the studio could have been carried on by an associate or other family member.

Please scan all photographs at 300-600 dpi.
Please feel free to colour/modify any restores posted by me.

Aw thanks for this Jeff.  You've piqued my interest in the photographer now, I'm going to have to investigate further!  8)

I can't make it out...not even with my trusty Inspector Clouseau light up magnifying glass!  ;D ;D ;D

Hang on while I scan just that area...

I think it reads "cream only" but that doesn't make much sense....
