Category:Claxton postcard collection, views
Edwardian view postcards ought to be the most dull and uninteresting of all early postcards, because they are black and white, and because the prints (as opposed to real photograph postcards) have less detail. However before World War I there was a fad for poring over photographic views with a hand lens, to find unexpected detail, often unnoticed by the photographer. That detail can include boys cocking a snook (thumbing noses or mooning) in the distance, women peering through windows, workers and children half-hidden, people far away in Sunday best, posing hopefully for the camera, not realising that they would not be central to the picture. Today we may notice lost historical features when we zoom in to digital images. The old glass-negative photos were finely focused, and will bear close examination.
