Fred C Palmer 017a
Postcard photo of rough sea at Herne Bay, Kent England, postmarked 1913. The photographer was Fred C. Palmer of Tower Studio, Herne Bay, Kent, who is believed to have died 1936-1939. This postcard was sent by Palmer to the Reverend W. Hitchcock of Fordwich Vicarage near Canterbury, on 5 May 1913, and Palmer has signed the back. See File:Fred C Palmer 018.jpg for an image of the back of the card.
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.
