Keywords: Fred C Palmer Longcot 1935 001.jpg Postcard of Longcot Vale of White Horse England showing the parish church The stone urns on the tower were removed in the 1970s for safety The photographer was Fred C Palmer of Tower Studio Herne Bay Kent ca 1905-20 and of 6 Cromwell Street Swindon ca 1920-1936 He is believed to have died 1936-39 The postcard is postmarked 1935 so the photo may have been taken close to the end of his career This print has darkened with age but it would be inappropriate to adjust the brightness because detail e g clouds in the sky 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 Postmarked 1935 Fred C Palmer died 1936-1939 out of copyright A closeup of the church from the same print is here File Fred C Palmer Longcot closeup 1935 001a jpg 2011 comparison shot of same view - File Palmer sites 2011 Longcot Oxfordshire 026 jpg PD-art-70 St Mary the Virgin Church Longcot Fred C Palmer of Swindon Postcards of Oxfordshire
