Description

Postcard photo of baptismal font in St Martins-in-Herne church, Herne, Kent, England. The postcard is unused, but the photo could only have been taken between 1907 and 1914. The photographer was Fred C. Palmer of Tower Studio, Herne Bay, Kent, who is believed to have died 1936-1939. The church is medieval but was renovated in the 19th century.

Points of interest
  • The font has now been moved in front of the organ, and is now on a wooden stand instead of a stone one.
  • It is not known whether the font is medieval or a Victorian reconstruction.

Editing

This is an unedited scan of an historical photograph. If making adjustments to this image, please consider uploading your edit as a separate file.

Contrast

This print has darkened with age, but it would be inappropriate to adjust the brightness because detail would be lost.

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. This is one of the reasons why the quality of his 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.
