Description

Hand-tinted postcard photo of Scott's tea gardens and church at Minster, Thanet, Kent, England. Postmarked Au 4 (August 1904) with a 1902 stamp featuring Edward VII. The photographer was Fred C. Palmer of Tower Studio, Herne Bay, Kent, who is believed to have died 1936-1939. The postcard is believed to be dated 1903-1904. Palmer moved to Herne Bay in 1903; the card is printed in Saxony and must be dated before 1914. File:Fred C Palmer 008.jpg and File:Fred C Palmer 020.jpg are similarly coloured postcards of Minster by Fred C. Palmer; the three are possibly part of a set.

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. It is also important to be able to see the round corners of this card, as it is part of the composition. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
