| Keywords: Fred C Palmer Chiseldon School 1934 002.jpg 1934 postcard of Chiseldon School near Swindon Wiltshire England showing a group of school children dressed for May Day celebrations It is one of a set of seven postcards from the 1930s showing children from the same school on May Day There is a May Queen; also Brownies Cubs Scouts and Girl Guides The photographer was Fred C Palmer of Tower Studio Herne Bay Kent ca 1905-1920 and of 6 Cromwell Street Swindon ca 1920-1936 He is believed to have died 1936-1939 This print has darkened with age but it would be inappropriate to adjust the brightness because detail e g on white dresses 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 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 Thank you for taking the time to read this Scan of original postcard in my possession Marked 1934 Fred C Palmer died 1936-1939 out of copyright File Fred C Palmer Chiseldon School 1930s 001 jpg <br/> File Fred C Palmer Chiseldon School 1933 001 jpg <br/> File Fred C Palmer Chiseldon School 1933 002 jpg <br/> File Fred C Palmer Chiseldon School 1933 003 jpg <br/> File Fred C Palmer Chiseldon School 1934 001 jpg <br/> File Fred C Palmer Chisledon School 1934 003 jpg PD-art-70 Fred C Palmer of Swindon Chiseldon People of Wiltshire School children of the United Kingdom 1st of May in the United Kingdom People in 1934 | ||||
