Description

Experimental print for postcard of Edmund Reid at Hampton-on-Sea, Herne Bay, Kent, England in 1912. Reid had retired in 1898, having been head of CID in the Metropolitan police, and his most famous case was the Whitechapel murders in 1888. He moved to Hampton-on-Sea which was lost to sea erosion by 1916. He died in 1917.

This is understood to be a scan of an original exposure of the original damaged negative by Fred C. Palmer, so it would be inappropriate to attempt to correct this image. It is one of at least three 1912 experiments at exposure and composition of this negative by the photographer, and this one has been provided by Herne Bay Records Society, which possesses the originals

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.
