Summary

[edit]
Description

Fascinating image titled: "Hampton Court Steamboat "Queen Elizabeth" Sunk off Kew, Sept. 5th 1904"

It is further marked: "Printed & Published by Walter Pearce & Co. The Butts, Brentford" and "Copyright, Photo by Wakefield, Brentford"

Amazingly I can find just one small teasing reference to the story behind this, at richmondhistory.org.uk/journal.htm. The image would have been taken from the newly opened Kew Bridge (the third bridge on the site was opened in May 1903).

I am assuming that the photographer is Frank Wakefield who is more noted for Ealing photos (see www.whatsthatpicture.com/2012/01/early-ealing-studios-pho...)
